Abstract
A literature review shows that inhalant users are more likely to use other drugs, be involved in crime, come from families that are broken or have substance use problems or criminal records, to have school problems, and to have friends who use drugs and engage in crimes. They are more likely to suffer from emotional distress and psychopathology. A program of psychosocial research to fill in gaps in our current knowledge is suggested.Keywords
