Harrison, Lana D.; Kennedy, Nancy J.
Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v16 n3 p281-95 Aug 1994
National survey data show that prevalences of drug use and drinking in metropolitan areas along the Mexican border were similar to those of the rest of the United States. Hispanics residing near the border had lower prevalence rates for most drugs than did other U.S. Hispanics, although Hispanic border youth had rates similar to other U.S. youth. (SV)
