title: Values of adolescent drug abusers.
abstract: Values of adolescent drug abusers are measured with the Rokeach Value Survey and compared with the values of the parents and peers of drug abusers. Relatively few significant differences are found between groups, and there is a marked level of concordance between pairs of groups: .86 to .96. There is, however, a relatively low level of agreement within groups (.16 to .36), and the suggestion is made that focusing on the differences between value systems of users and their significant others may be of limited programmatic utility.
