Substance Use among Youths Who Had Run Away from Home. The NSDUH Report

摘要

Previous research has shown that alcohol and illicit drug use is higher among youths who have run away from home than among those who do not run away from home. The 2002 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) asks youths aged 12 to 17 to report whether they had run away from home and slept on the street in the past 12 months. NSDUH also gathers information from youths on their use of alcohol or any illicit drug during the year prior to the interview.
