Maag, John W.; And Others
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v27 n4 p223-34 Apr 1994
This study compared prevalence of tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana use among 123 adolescents with learning disabilities (LD) and 138 nondisabled students. Only tobacco and marijuana use was proportionally higher for adolescents with learning disabilities. Scores on the Adolescent Drinking Index were reliable predictors of marijuana use for LD subjects and of tobacco use for both groups. (Author/DB)
