Namyniuk, Lorraine; Brems, Christiane; Kuka-Hindin, Carolee

Journal of Addictions & Offender Counseling, v21 n2 p50-67 Apr 2001

Investigates substance use patterns among 192 pregnant substance-using women to assess whether ethnic differences exist regarding drugs of choice, frequency and recency of use, and severity of use. Results reveal that substance use patterns differed across ethic groups. Findings suggest that prevention and intervention efforts have to be tailored to the targeted audience.
