title: Perceptions of the use of drugs--a cross-sectional analysis.
abstract: Samples of six specific groups were surveyed regarding their differential perceptions of the use of drugs. Current use was discussed in terms of comparisons of different groups' ratings of each group, comparisons of differential use of drugs by each group and comparisons between each groups' perception of its own use and its perception of use by other groups.
