Barnes, Grace M.; And Others

Journal of Research on Adolescence, v4 n2 p183-201 1994

An ongoing longitudinal study of 699 adolescents and their parents, begun when the adolescents were ages 13 to 16, found that, although black families had more single-parent households and lower family incomes than white families, black adolescents had higher abstention rates and lower rates of alcohol abuse and other deviance than white adolescents.
