Abstract
This study reports on the use of drugs among a sample of high school students in a small rural community. The users were primarily males who were somewhat estranged from such significant primary groups as the home, the church, and the community. Several differences between black and white students were noted. More black males than white males used drugs; the converse was the case among females. Family variables had less influence on use among blacks; religion had more of an effect.Keywords
