Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using adolescents in a chemical dependency program may not be appropriate for studying general patterns of adolescent drug use as they may not represent the entire population of adolescents who use drugs. Additionally, adolescents in a chemical dependency program may have different motivations and experiences with drug use compared to the general population of adolescent drug users.
