Abstract
Relationships between drug knowledge and use of 7 different drugs—alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, heroin, LSD, marihuana, and tobacco—by a random sample of 300 12th-grade students from large, intermediate, and small high schools were studied. Drug knowledge was significantly related to use of alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, LSD, and marihuana. Over-all, rs were small to moderate. Such results seem to indicate that drug education might be a problem instead of a solution, but more definitive research is needed before calling for an end to such programs.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
