Sutker, Patricia B.; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v46 n6 p1374-78 Dec 1978
Examined interrelationships among sex, race, drug-use patterns, and personality variables in chronic users of illicit drugs. Blacks were characterized by lower levels of sensation seeking, less psychopathology, use of fewer drug categories, and later drug use than Whites. Use and personality patterns among women differed little from men. (Author/BEF)
