Family Functioning and Peer Relationships: Influences on Adolescent Drug Use.

Cashwell, Craig S.; Nassar-McMillan, Sylvia C.

Journal of At-Risk Issues, v4 n1 p30-35 Sum-Fall 1997

In a secondary analysis of a study involving 619 middle school students, a path model was tested to examine the effects of family and peer variables on adolescent drug use. Results suggest that peer drug use is a salient issue in adolescent drug use, and that family variables influence male and female adolescent drug use differently. (SLD)
