Descrição: As part of a larger investigation into adolescent drug use, the patterns of multiple drug use are examined in a representative sample of 8,206 New York public secondary school students. Among the 35 percent of adolescents reporting illicit drug use, the majority are multiple users having used other illicit drugs besides marihuana. Furthermore, the use of any drug, legal or illegal, is positively correlated with the use of any other drug. A series of scalogram analyses reveals that patterns of illicit drug use fit the Guttman scale model. The use of illicit drugs other than marihuana rarely takes place in the absence of marihuana use. However, the use of legal drugs such as tobacco and alcohol also scales with the use of illicit drugs. Public concern over adolescent drug use should not focus solely upon the use of illegal drugs, since progressive involvement with drugs on the part of youth begins with the use of alcohol and tobacco rather than with marihuana.
