Family characteristics and adolescent substance use

A L Stephenson et al. Adolescence. 1996 Spring.

Abstract

Using self-report questionnaire data from high school students (N = 253), the relation between adolescents' perceptions of family characteristics and adolescent substance use patterns were examined. Results indicated that adolescents' perception of maternal substance use, family hardiness, and age of the adolescent were significant predictors of adolescent substance use. Implications are presented.
