Patterns of use of smokeless tobacco and the unidimensional model of drug involvement

Article Abstract:

A unidimensional drug involvement model is used to determine the potential role of smokeless tobacco in drug abuse. The study, based on a sample of high school students, found that the smokeless tobacco place in the model's continuum is unstable. It was also found that the use of smokeless tobacco that fit in the model differs in relation to genders and ethnicity. Smokeless tobacco use, particularly among males, is found to be preceded by use of soft drugs and followed by use of hard drugs.

Self-reported high-risk locations of adolescent drug use

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to analyze home, school and other public locations where youth report using drugs. Also, these settings were examined as a function of gender, type of drug used, ethnicity and drug abuse status. It was observed that the single most frequent location of use was the participants' bedroom with a small group of friends. However, heavier users were found to use different drugs in various locations with the school as the least likely site of use.
