Hadan, Tony L.; Edmundson, Elizabeth W.
Journal of Drug Education, v21 n4 p303-12 1991
Administered Drug Use Survey to 1,013 college students to determine predictability of self-reported drug use utilizing motivations (social and personal) commonly reported by substance users. Results indicated that personal motivations subscale was stronger predictor in every model examined with exception of model that predicted alcohol use index.
