Physical Symptoms and Psychological Distress among Inhalant Users.

Joe, George W.; And Others

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v13 n3 p297-314 Aug 1991

Among 110 Mexican-American adolescents with varying drug use histories, self-reported physical health problems were not related to inhalant use history, but blood analyses indicated a relationship between extensive inhalant use and liver problems. Psychological distress symptoms were related to inhalant use and physical symptoms. Contains 23 references. (Author/SV)
