| Abstract: | Data from an anonymous survey of 3,690 adolescents were used to assess how much of the unique variance in adolescents' self-reported drug use was accounted for by number of parents in comparison to the adolescents' sex, age, social class, and peer drug use. Multiple regression revealed that the contribution of number of parents was small and nonsignificant compared to peer use, student age, parental occupation and remarriage, student sex, and parental unemployment.
