“…During the 1960s, for example, it was estimated that more than 100,000 pounds of amphetamines and amphetamine‐like compounds were being manufactured annually in the United States, and that half of this production was being diverted to illicit markets [44,45]. In the 1970s, numerous studies documented the abuse and diversion of barbiturates [46,47], other sedative‐hypnotics [48,49], pentazocine [50], and methadone [51–53]. Moreover, the first general population survey of drug abuse undertaken in the United States (conducted in New York State in 1970, just 1 year before the first National Household Survey on Drug Abuse), found prescription drug abuse and diversion to be commonplace [54].…”

While doctor shoppers, physicians and the Internet receive much of the attention regarding diversion, the data reported in this paper suggest that there are numerous active street markets involving patients, Medicaid recipients and pharmacies as well. In addition, there are other data which suggest that the contributions of residential burglaries, pharmacy robberies and thefts, and "sneak thefts" to the diversion problem may be understated.

“…The environmental context in which these youths live could be expected to place them at considerable risk of becoming involved with drugs (Clayton and Voss, 1981;Rittenhouse, 1977). In addition, the Black and Puerto Rican^ male adolescents we studied constitute a group at high risk of becoming involved in drug use (Brunswick, 1977(Brunswick, , 1979Chambers and Inciardi, 1971;Clayton and Voss, 1981); female youths, who research suggests are less at risk of using various drugs, were omitted from the analyses. Second, the methodological issue of stage of drug use identified by Kandel is represented satisfactorily in our data set.…”

The influence of family relationships on marijuana use among a sample of inner city youths

et al. 1985

This study of the etiology of drug use explores the influence of family relationship variables (parental support) on selfidentification, and alcohol and marijuana use of 258 inner-city, male adolescents. A latent variable structural model of the effect of parental support on alcohol and drug use, mediated by self-identification, was estimated using a maximum likelihood solution. Results support the adequacy of the model. Perceived family support and self-identification were significantly related to reported alcohol and marijuana use. In addition, alcohol consumption functions as a mediator variable and affects the relationship for both perceived family support and selfidentification with marijuana use. Ethnic background, Black versus Puerto Rican, did not have a direct effect on these variables. Finally, the model suggests a direct relationship between youths 1 use of alcohol and marijuana. It was hypothesized that this relationship is a product of environmental and socio-cultural contexts wherein a variety of illicit drug-taking is available, encouraged, and rewarded. The discussion examines the implications of the results for the influence of perceived family suppost and the quality of youth-family relationships for researchers. The role of alcohol use as a mediating variable is also discussed.We are grateful for the assistance given to us by the principal, teachers and parents of the junior high school who must remain anonymous. The reactions of many youngsters to earlier versions of the survey instruments were valuable to our research effort.
