The Communicative Process of Drug Resistance among High School Students.
Alberts, J. K.; And Others
Adolescence, v27 n105 p203-26 Spr 1992
Analyzed 69 narrative accounts of successful and unsuccessful attempts by high school students to say no to drug offers. Found peer pressure applied in approximately 70 percent of offers. Much of pressure was applied after refusal of initial offer. Simple offers were more likely with alcohol; drug offers were more likely to be persuasive and to involve pressure. (Author/NB)
