Does Drug and Alcohol Use Lead to Failure to Graduate from High School?
Friedman, Alfred S.; And Others
Journal of Drug Education, v15 n4 p353-64 1985
Examined the relationship between drug use and graduation among 526 high school students. Results indicated the majority of drug users dropped out, compared to only one of four non-drug users. In a multiple regression analysis, controlling for demographic, personal and family variables, the severity of drug use still predicted failure to graduate. (Author/ABL)
