| Abstract: | It is my pleasure to organize the first International Journal of Emotional Education (IJEE) special issue on “Social-Emotional Factors Related to Substance Misuse in Adolescents.” Substance misuse remains a significant public health problem. Approximately 435,000 deaths per year in the U.S. alone are attributable to tobacco use (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2012), with overconsumption of alcohol responsible for additional 85,000 deaths and illicit drug use responsible for 17,000 deaths (Mokdad et al., 2004). Worldwide, tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug use are accountable for nearly 13% of all deaths (World Health Organization, 2009). |
