Use of inhalants among Miami's public school students, 1992.
This analysis examined inhalant use by 482 adolescents in Dade County, Florida public schools in 1992. Probit analysis indicated factors associated with increased probability of use included peers' use of inhalants, earlier grades (Grades 7 and 8), ready access, and a family member with a drug or alcohol problem. Adolescents were slightly more likely to use inhalants if they knew of the associated risks.
