A comparison of drug use among Houston and lower Rio Grande valley secondary students.
The authors conducted a study of drug use among students of a predominantly Mexican-American population and compared their findings with a similar study that was done in a large urban setting. They suggest that drug use among Mexican-American secondary students is less than among Anglo secondary students, which is opposite to popular lay notions.
