| Abstract: | Study assessed relative influence of perceived level of support for adolescent's alcohol use by best friends, most students in school, live-in parents/guardians, and adults in neighborhood/community. Findings revealed some differences by sex and grade level, and the different kinds of drinking behavior. Prevention programs including all four reference groups would be expected to have the most impact on drinking behaviors. (Contains 6 tables.) (ADT) |
