Substance use by adolescent psychiatric inpatients and their parents.
The relationship between adolescent psychiatric inpatients' and their parents' drug use was studied using a questionnaire format. The major finding was that there was no systematic relationship. It is hypothesized that due to recent family realignments, adolescents are turning away from their parents and toward peers for their role models in drug use.
