Abstract

Recent research concerning motives for alcohol and drug use is summarized and reviewed in the context of seeking common reasons for using alcohol and other drugs. Common motives were found which correlated with both drinking and other drug-taking behavior, and specific motives were also found which were related to use of alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs. The implication of these findings for both primary and secondary prevention efforts is discussed.
