Abuse of Dextromethorphan-Based Cough Syrup as a Substitute for Licit and Illicit Drugs: A Theoretical Framework.
Darboe, Momodou N.
Adolescence, v31 n121 p239-45 Spr 1996
Discusses the emergence of new types of abused drugs in the United States. Notes that young persons often search for substitutes for better-known substances. It is unclear, however, what factors determine the choice of drug or substance for experimentation, considering the wide range of choices. This paper attempts to delineate the factors that make Dextromethorphan-based cough syrup an attractive choice. (Author/KW)
