Werch, Chudley E.; And Others
Journal of School Health, v65 n7 p254-59 Sep 1995
This study explored stages of alcohol acquisition and risk factors associated with stages based on the Multi-Component Motivational Stages model. Subjects were 254 urban middle schoolers (90% black, 62% female). Questionnaire results indicated that most students were in a precontemplation stage for alcohol use. Alcohol use was found to be the best predictor of acquisition stage advancement. (SM)
