Abstract
This is a survey study of American schools of nursing, psychiatry residency programs, and schools of social work to develop information on the extent to which nurses, psychiatrists, and social workers are prepared in their professional education to identify and treat substance misusers. Results describing nature, format, and extent of training experiences are presented for didactic and patient contact components of programs. Results are discussed in light of the finding that not much time is devoted to substance misuse in the professional preparation of these health care providers.Keywords
