Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that adolescent drug use is related to their perceptions of how harmful and disapproved of the drug is. When adolescents believe that a drug is harmful and disapproved of by parents and teachers, they are less likely to use it. On the other hand, when adolescents do not view a drug as harmful or if they perceive that it is socially acceptable, they are more likely to use it. Changes in rates of adolescent drug use may reflect changes in these perceptions.
