Lifestyle Differences between Young Adult Cocaine Users and Their Nonuser Peers.
Castro, Felipe G.; And Others
Journal of Drug Education, v17 n2 p89-111 1987
Examined health-related behaviors in 25 young adult cocaine users and 25 matched nonusers. Found cocaine users consumed more coffee and alcohol, and fewer balanced meals, than did nonusers. Users reported less relaxation and daily organization than did nonusers. Suggests that cocaine use is embedded in complex of interrelated unhealthy behaviors; intervention should promote healthy lifestyle changes. (Author/NB)
