Early Childhood Risk and Protective Factors for Substance Use during Early Adolescence: Gender Differences.

Friedman, Alfred S.; And Others

Journal of Child and Adolescent Substance Abuse, v4 n4 p1-23 1995

Gathered substance use histories from African American male (n=318) and female (n=322) adolescents to determine whether gender differences affected early life risk factors for drug use or abuse. Family variables and subject behavior predicted degree of substance use and frequency of intoxication, but no risk factor applied to both genders. (SNR)
