Abstract

Purpose To identify risk behaviors and psychosocial characteristics associated with high school students' selling drugs.Methods In 2000, an anonymous standardized survey assessed substance use, drug selling and related risk factors (e.g., friends' use; messages about use) among high school students (n = 38,999) in a large metropolitan area. The sample was 51% female and included adolescents who were white (70%), African-American (18%), Asian (3.3%), Hispanic (1.7%) or who reported other ethnicities (7%). Logistic regression analyses examined whether selling drugs was associated with variables from different explanatory models, net of risk behavior and demographic characteristics.Results Twelve percent of students reported selling drugs in the past year. In the final logistic regression model, selling drugs was associated with being male, violence, delinquency and marijuana use. Students who sold drugs were less involved in religious and family activities but did not differ in their perceptions of, or participation in, school. Friends and school adults' support of substance use was associated with selling drugs, as was daily employment. Social competence, but neither purposeful planning nor self-efficacy, was associated with selling drugs.Conclusions Despite popular perceptions, drug selling is not limited to out-of-school youth but occurs frequently among students who attend high school. School-based prevention efforts should discourage drug selling in order to reduce students' access to drugs and protect young people from the dangers associated with drug selling.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
