  • Title: Sequences of drug involvement in African-American and Puerto Rican adolescents.
    Author: Brook JS, Hamburg BA, Balka EB, Wynn PS.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1992 Aug; 71(1):179-82. PubMed ID: 1529053.
    Abstract:
    This study examined stages in drug involvement of 695 African-American and 637 Puerto Rican adolescents. Analysis indicated that adolescents progress through several stages of drug involvement: beer/wine, cigarettes or hard liquor, then marijuana, and, finally, illicit drugs other than marijuana. The sequence of drug involvement for both ethnic groups appears to be both unidimensional and cumulative.
