Depression and Substance Abuse in Two Divergent High School Cultures: A Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis.

Way, Niobe; And Others

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v23 n3 p331-57 Jun 1994

Quantitative and qualitative methods explored the relationships among depression and substance use across suburban (164 students) and inner-city (242 students) high schools. Qualitative analyses suggest that quantitative differences in these relationships may be related to the meanings of depression and substance use in the cultural context. (SLD)
