Predicting attitudes toward substance use in a black community: implications for prevention

L E Gary et al. Community Ment Health J. 1985 Spring.

Abstract

This study identified those demographic and sociocultural factors that best predict the attitudes of black adults toward substance use. Data were collected by survey research methods from a probability sample of 411 black adults who resided in an urban community. The study found that racial consciousness was the best predictor of substance use attitudes and that gender, age, church involvement, and marital status were other significant predictors.
