Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore and describe "crack" cocaine use, health, family and social support in adult users. A nonprobability, convenience sample was used comprising 100 inpatients, 77 men and 23 women, from a drug treatment program. Gender differences, though not found in areas related to drug consumption, were found with respect to where and with whom subjects smoked, as well as perceptions of significant others. This initial, exploratory study should provide a foundation for future investigations concerning crack cocaine users.
