An Analysis of the Relationships among Selected Attitudinal, Demographic, and Behavioral Variables and the Self-Reported Alcohol Use Behaviors of Pennsylvania Adolescents.
Bechtel, Lori J.; Swisher, John D.
Journal of Alcohol and Drug Education, v37 n2 p83-93 Win 1992
Examined alcohol use among 7,799 adolescents. Found alcohol use highly correlated with composite effects of variables (behavioral intention; attitude toward school; school misconduct; time spent on sports, extracurricular activities, religion, and academics; grade average; gender; and grade level). Alcohol use was positively correlated with behavioral intention and school misconduct; negatively correlated with time spent on religious activities. (Author/NB)
