TY - JOUR PY - 1979// TI - Adults' drug use: relationship to perceived drug use of parents, friends while growing up, and present friends JO - American journal of drug and alcohol abuse encompassing all addictive disorders A1 - Apsler, R. A1 - Blackman, C. SP - 291 EP - 300 VL - 6 IS - 3 N2 - Results from a random household survey of the Boston Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area show a consistent and relatively strong association of adults' use of coffee, tobacco, alcohol, tranquilizers, and marijuana with their perceptions of present friends' use. Associations with parents' and past adolescent friends' use are much weaker. The results support efforts to explain illicit drug use with general theories of behavior acquisition and cast doubt on the utility of deviance theories.
