Alcohol: The Gateway to Other Drug Use Among Secondary-School Students.
Welte, John W.; Barnes, Grace M.
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v14 n6 p487-98 Dec 1985
The "stepping-stone" theory of progression into drug use is examined, based on the alcohol and other drug use of over 27,000 seventh- through eighth-grade students in New York State. The data show that students do not use illicit drugs unless they also use alcohol. (Author/LMO)
