PARENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF THEIR ADOLESCENTS' ATTITUDES TOWARDS SUBSTANCE USE: BY ETHNIC DIFFERENCES

With alcohol and substance use being a long-standing problem since the early-1970s, this book deals with the attitudes of adolescents towards substance use. The book presents a research study comparing the attitudes of grade 7-12 students from different ethnic backgrounds on alcohol and substance use. The students’ attitudes are considered from their parents’ perceptions. The book uses a scientific research approach with a hypothesis, methodology, and recommendations for future research.
