Gender Differences Regarding Peer Influence and Attitude toward Substance Abuse.
Rienzi, Beth M.; And Others
Journal of Drug Education, v26 n4 p339-47 1996
To investigate gender differences in acceptance of substance abuse behavior among adolescents, 968 students were administered a questionnaire to assess their perceptions. Results show that both genders felt that boys would be more approving of teenage substance abuse. Most students were disapproving of a teenager driving after drinking. Other results are reported.
