Co-occurrence of Substance Use Behaviors in Youth. Juvenile Justice Bulletin, November 2008

摘要

This Bulletin analyzes the prevalence and overlap of substance-related behaviors among youth, with comparisons by age group, gender, and race/ethnicity. It uses data from the first two waves of the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY97)self-reports gathered in 1997 and 1998 from a nationally representative sample of youth ages 12-17. The data are from questions asking about drinking alcohol during the previous 30 days, using marijuana during the previous 30 days, and ever selling or helping to sell marijuana (pot, grass), hashish (hash) or other hard drugs such as heroin, cocaine, or LSD.
