Predicting alcohol use by adolescent males.
An attempt was made to predict alcohol use among 101 American white boys aged 13-16. The model combined genetic and social variables. The analysis revealed evidence of a genotype-environment interaction and thus the use of either the biological or social variables alone poorly predicts alcohol use.
