Sociocultural Correlates of Substance Use among Medical Students.

Forney, Paul David; And Others

Journal of Drug Education, v18 n2 p97-108 1988

Medical students (N=341) completed questionnaire on drug, alcohol, and tobacco use, and involvement in sensation-seeking sports and activities. Results indicated minimal tobacco use, moderately low drug use, and extensive alcohol use. Increased alcohol use was strongly correlated with heavy drinking patterns in parents and male students while decreased drinking was strongly correlated with frequent religious attendance patterns.
