The Use of Alcohol by Miami's Adolescent Public School Students 1992: Peers, Risk-Taking, and Availability as Central Forces.
Yarnold, Barbara M.
Journal of Drug Education, v28 n3 p211-33 1998
Examines the use of alcohol by adolescents (N=535) in Dade County Public Schools during 1992. Significant factors that increase the probability of alcohol use are friends who drink, awareness of risks associated with alcohol use, and ease in obtaining alcohol. Family-related variables, smoking, religion, gender, race, academic performance, and extracurricular activities were not related to adolescent alcohol abuse. (Author/MKA)
