Family Risk and Resiliency Factors, Substance Use, and the Drug Resistance Process in Adolescence.

Moon, Dreama G.; Jackson, Kristina M.; Hecht, Michael L.

Journal of Drug Education, v30 n4 p373-98 2000

Study tests two models to compare the effects of risk and resiliency across gender and ethnicity. Results support the model in which risk and resiliency are discrete sets of factors and demonstrate that overall resiliency factors play a larger role than risk factors in substance use and drug resistance processes. Gender proved to be an important moderator of these effects. (Contains 44 references and 4 tables.) (Author/GCP)
