Ball, Samuel A.; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v62 n5 p1053-57 Oct 1994
Assessed sensation seeking, substance abuse severity, and psychiatric disorders in clinical and community sample of 335 cocaine abusers. In contrast to low-sensation-seeking subjects, high-sensation seekers exhibited more severe symptoms of substance abuse, exhibited more severe psychosocial impairment, were more likely to be polysubstance abusers, and had earlier age of onset for substance use and abuse.
