Predicting teen drug use from junior high attitudes
Psychologists link early personality “socialization” scores to later tobacco alcohol and marijuana use. Rebels in junior high tended to become heavy drug users by high school, with the scale differentiating legal drug users from nonusers. Researchers caution careful use and emphasize counseling. The study analyzes 1474 students from four Boston area junior high schools over 11 years, part of a 13 year project on 15,000 children.
