ABSTRACT
Research over the past 30 years has explored the prevalence and possible
causes of substance misuse among people with schizophrenia, as well as high-
lighting some of the complications that can occur as a consequence. While
these studies have significantly improved our understanding of the complex
interplay between drug misuse and schizophrenia, only a small number of
research studies have evaluated treatment interventions aimed at improving
outcomes for this group.
