Abstract
Data from an 18-month prospective study of 205 adults with major disabling conditions revealed that there is a positive but not statistically significant association (p > .10) between respondents'' scores on a scale which measures both numbers and amounts of substances (alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis) used and bed disability days. There are also nonsignificant positive relationships between scale scores and five of six measures of utilization of medical care.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
