| Popis: | This is the first comprehensive epidemiological research initiative to examine the rates of legal and illegal psychoactive substance use exclusively among Arab students in Israel, and the links between rates of use and socio-demographic, interpersonal, cognitive, and personality characteristics. The sample consisted of 2,603 Arab students in grades 7 to 12. The results revealed relationships between use rates and various characteristics of the participants, with higher rates found among males than among females and lower rates found among those from more cohesive families. The current findings are in line with the literature with several exceptions that are discussed. |
