Explanation:

The problem involves researching sources related to drug abuse (solutions, who is involved). The subfield under Social Science, specifically Psychology (or Public Administration/Health - related in Social Science) could apply, but since it's about researching sources and analyzing their reliability for a topic on drug abuse (a social issue), the subfield of Psychology (or Public Administration) in Social Science is relevant. However, the task is to fill out source details. Let's pick a source from "Potential Sources - Solutions", e.g., "Drug - Free Communities Program Success - CDC".

Source 1:

• Source 1 Title: Drug - Free Communities Program Success - CDC
• Author / date / website: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), [date not given, assume recent], https://www.cdc.gov/ (or relevant CDC page for this program)
• What question did this source answer (cause / solution / who involved)?: Solution (since it's about program success in drug - free communities, a solution to drug abuse)
• Notes: The CDC is a government agency, so it's reliable. The program success would include data on how communities reduced drug abuse, maybe statistics on participation rates, reduction in drug - related crimes, etc. (e.g., "In X year, Y number of communities reported Z% reduction in youth drug use after implementing the program").
• Summarize what was most useful about this source: It provides real - world examples of successful solutions to drug abuse, with data to support the effectiveness of community - based programs. This helps in understanding practical ways to address drug abuse.

Source 2:

• Source 2 Title: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
• Author / date / website: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), [date not given], https://www.samhsa.gov/
• What question did this source answer (cause / solution / who involved)?: Who involved (since SAMHSA is an agency involved in substance abuse and mental health services, so it answers who is involved in addressing drug abuse)
• Notes: SAMHSA is a federal agency, so it's reliable. It would have information on their initiatives, partnerships with other organizations (like state agencies, non - profits), and the roles they play in prevention, treatment, etc. (e.g., "SAMHSA partners with A, B, C organizations to provide treatment services to D number of individuals with drug addiction").
• Summarize what was most useful about this source: It clarifies the role of a key federal agency in addressing drug abuse, including their programs, funding, and partnerships, which helps in understanding the organizational structure of those involved in solving drug abuse issues.
