title: Substance use and abuse among senior medical students in 23 medical schools.
abstract: The current study represents the first large-scale study of substance use and abuse among 2,046 senior medical students at 23 nationally distributed medical schools. With the exception of alcohol and tranquilizers, medical students use less of all such substances than do age-related cohorts from the general population.
