Saucier, Jean-Francois; Ambert, Anne-Marie

Adolescence, v18 n70 p403-11 Sum 1983

Studied the risk-taking behavior (i.e., smoking, intemperate drinking, and failure to fasten seat belts) of 4,539 Canadian adolescents. Results showed adolescents who lived in intact families engaged in less health-risk behavior than adolescents from separated or divorced families. Results from widowed families were mixed. (JAC)
