Developmental Changes in Peer Factors and the Influence on Marijuana Initiation among Secondary School Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bailey, Susan L.; Hubbard, Robert L. – Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 1991
A longitudinal sample of 3,454 urban and rural school students in grades 6 through 8 at baseline was used to examine developmental changes in peer factors and their influence on marijuana initiation. Friends' drug-related behaviors, rather then attitudes, were more strongly related to respondents' likelihood of initiating drug use. (TJH)
