title: Factors correlated with adolescents' use of crack in public schools.
abstract: This study was undertaken to evaluate factors correlated with crack use by 479 adolescents in 1992 in Dade County, Florida public schools. Based upon self-reports, after application of the Bonferroni correction, only two variables were related to crack use, i.e., having friends who use crack and living alone.
