This paper reports results of the first wave of a two-wave panel survey carried out on a representative sample of Puerto Rican public and private secondary school students in the 1974--1975 academic year. Twelve percent of the students reported the use of one or more illicit drugs. The illicit drug most frequently used was marijuana. A greater proportion of adolescents have used alcohol and tobacco than any of the illegal drugs. Private school students of both sexes reported more use of illicit and licit drugs than their public school peers, suggesting that socio-economic factors may be influencing Puerto Rican adolescent drug behavior. Differences between Puerto Rican adolescents vary significantly depending on sex and suggest that Puerto Rican sociocultural conditions may have an important effect upon male-female drug use patterns. One of the most significant findings of the study is the high frequency of drug use among Puerto Rican adolescents who ever lived in other countries.
本文报告了在1974 - 1975学年对波多黎各公立和私立中学学生的代表性样本进行的两波面板调查第一波的结果。12%的学生报告使用了一种或多种非法药物。最常使用的非法药物是大麻。使用酒精和烟草的青少年比例高于任何非法药物。私立学校的男女学生报告使用非法和合法药物的情况比公立学校的同龄人更多，这表明社会经济因素可能在影响波多黎各青少年的吸毒行为。波多黎各青少年之间的差异因性别而异，这表明波多黎各的社会文化条件可能对男女吸毒模式有重要影响。该研究最显著的发现之一是曾在其他国家生活过的波多黎各青少年吸毒频率很高。
