Abstract
A drug survey of junior and senior high school students in a large New England city found higher drug usage among males, blacks, eighth graders, children from broken homes, and children who do not plan to complete high school. It is suggested that these adolescents are enmeshed in an “alienation syndrome” and need a variety of services for prevention and rehabilitation.Keywords
