Abstract
Many studies have dealt with the health variables of drinking among teenagers, but few have looked at Black adolescents. Data from a sample of 728 males and females aged eleven to sixteen indicated that drinkers were more likely to report health problems. The correlation between drinking and poor health was most noted among young males and older females. Drinkers reported more sleep disturbances. Tobacco use was the most positive predictor of drinking among males and pregnancy for females.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
