  • Title: Substance use among school-based youths in northern Mexico.
    Author: Floyd LJ, Latimer WW, Vasquez M, O'Brien M.
    Journal: Am J Addict; 2005; 14(5):464-70. PubMed ID: 16257883.
    Abstract:
    A small base of research suggests that adolescent substance use is a growing public health concern in Mexico. Employing confidential methods, the International Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health was administered to assess substance use among 1,238 students in northern Mexico. A large proportion of students indicated lifetime use of tobacco and alcohol. Gender differences in tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana were also evident. The current findings are congruent with the sparse extant data on youths' substance use in Mexico and highlight the need for early prevention interventions.
