Abstract
Black female high school students from rural backgrounds were studied. The proscriptive and abstinence norms in the community resulted in drinking styles of a surreptitious nature in a setting of less restraint. There were some signs of problems with alcohol such as experiencing complications, getting high and drinking for utilitarian reasons. The factors which influenced the girls to drink were similar to those of other studies.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
