“This is an up-to-date look at the most widely used methodologies and statistical analyses applied to research studies examining the use and abuse of alcohol and illegal drugs. … This is a highly technical book aimed primarily at researchers in this area. … This book is valuable to those in the field as well as anyone trying to understand the validity of the methodology, analysis, and conclusions of various studies before applying them to influence policy or treatment.” (Michael Easton, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2017)
