Surveying Urban Inner-City High School Students: An Assessment of Drug and Alcohol Use.
Penfield, Douglas A.
Educational Research Quarterly, v14 n4 p6-14 Oct 1991
A total of 1,179 urban inner-city high school students were surveyed about drug and alcohol use. The extent of use and relationships among use and sex, age, and grade were analyzed. The results confirm that drug use increases as grade level rises and provide other insights into adolescent behavior. (SLD)
