Social correlates of female abstinence from marijuana: results of a household survey.
Using data collected from a household survey carried out in Pennsylvania in 1976, this study examines the social and attitudinal correlates of female abstinence from marijuana. Generally, it is found that women with "weaker" attachments to traditional social control systems, women in "nontraditional" roles, and higher status women are more likely to be among those who have used the substance at least once than are other women.
