Drug abuse in South Carolina: comparison with three studies.

This report discusses results of a state study on drug abuse in South Carolina and compares them with those of a similar state study conducted the previous year, as well as with three national studies. Since the latter did not deal with all the specific aspects of the state study, only the relevant portions are compared. The first of the national studies is on assessment of the diffusion of heroin abuse to medium-sized American cities. The second is on teenage drug abusers admitted to treatment. The third is on students and drugs in colleges and high schools.
