Reasons for Inhalant Use.

Joe, George W.; Simpson, D. Dwayne

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v13 n3 p256-66 Aug 1991

Among 110 Mexican-American adolescents in a Texas drug abuse program, initial use of toxicant inhalants was related to availability and sensation-seeking, followed by psychological problems, parental and home problems, and peer influence. Quitting inhalant use was related to social pressures, attitude change, and perceived health risks. (Author/SV)
