Associations between drug use and deviant behavior in teenagers

Article Abstract:

Analyses of self-reports of drug use among male and female students, showing a correlation between drug abuse and deviant behavior, points to an unidimensionality of activities such as alcohol use and sociability, and rebelliousness. The drug prevention programs have a broader, spillover and impact on deviant behavior. Schools are the best place to identify deviant behavior and drug abuse, and prevention programs need to focus on the social acceptability of drinking and the contexts within which it occurs.
