Flannery, Daniel J.; And Others
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v23 n2 p195-213 Apr 1994
Interpersonal and intrapersonal risk for substance use were investigated for 1,170 Caucasian and Hispanic American sixth and seventh graders, equally divided by gender. Mean use levels did not differ for ethnic groups. Across both gender and ethnicity, susceptibility to peer pressure and peer alcohol use were the best predictors of substance use. (SLD)
