title: Use in 1992 of tranquilizers and smokeless tobacco among Miami's public school students.
abstract: This analysis examined tranquilizer use by 466 adolescents in Dade County, Florida public schools in 1992. Significant factors which increased the probability of use include that the adolescents were female, older students, peers' use of tranquilizers, ready access, and they lived alone. Smokeless tobacco use among 468 students was positively and significantly linked to peer influence, students being male, younger, living alone, and the availability of smokeless tobacco.
