“The individual who reaches age twenty-one without smoking, using illegal drugs, or abusing alcohol is virtually certain never to do so.”
Mr. Califano’s book demonstrates how substance abuse affects poverty, violent crime, as well as soaring health care costs, family dissolution, child abuse, homelessness, teen pregnancy, and AIDS. With alcohol and tobacco interests buying political protection with campaign contributions and helping seed a culture of substance abuse.. In it he illustrates the dire need for parental engagement, proposes revolutionary changes in prevention, treatment, and the nation’s criminal justice, health care, and social service systems, and sounds an urgent cry to address the plague responsible for the death of more Americans than all our wars, natural catastrophes, and traffic accidents combined.
Mr. Califano ought to know. He served as President Lyndon B. Johnson’s top White House domestic aide from 1965 to 1969. He worked on various domestic problems, including health care, education, environmental and urban issues, civil rights, consumer protection, and labor-management relations. From 1977 to 1979, Mr. Califano served as U.S. Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare under President Carter. As Secretary, Mr. Califano mounted major health promotion and disease prevention programs, including childhood immunization, the first national anti-smoking campaign, an alcoholism initiative, and the issuance of Healthy People, the Surgeon General’s Report on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, which for the first time set health goals for the American people. He has been an Adjunct Professor of Public Health (Health Policy and Management) at Columbia University’s Medical School and Public Health. He is a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. In 2010, he received the Gustav O. Lienhard Award, the Institute’s highest honor, for his contributions to improving public health, his leadership in catalyzing federal action to curb smoking, and his broader efforts to reduce the toll of addiction and substance abuse.. |
