Abstract
This paper asks what prevents the prevention of alcohol and drug use problems. Five prevention paradoxes can be identified, all of which may well be interfering with our attempts to reduce the problems associated with drug use. Drug problem preventers should be aware of these paradoxes and, thus, be able to avoid becoming ensnared by them.Keywords
