Use of Marijuana among Rural High School Students: A Test of a Facilitative-Constraint Model.

Goe, W. Richard; And Others

Rural Sociology, v50 n3 p409-26 Fall 1985

To test a facilitative-constraint model, data about marijuana use was collected from 4,859 high school students in 2 rural southern Georgia counties. The model was useful for predicting frequency of use and classifying students as users, experimenters, and nonusers. Access to drugs and identification with drug-oriented groups were strong predictors. (JHZ)
