Abstract
There are some 230 annotated bibliographic entries presented under the following topical sections: overviews; program management; prevention/intervention programs; assessment, intervention, and treatment options; counseling approaches; risk factors; and personal influences. The documented literature was produced in the 1980's and 1990's. One appendix includes a section of literature intended for distribution to, or use with, a program's clientele; another appendix lists literature appropriate for outreach vans, community events, and shelter use. A third appendix lists Federal agencies, national organizations and companies, clearinghouses, and toll-free services.
