Abstract
Statistics regarding drug abuse among adolescents seem few and far between, and of questionable accuracy when available. This is easy to understand. In the present adolescent setting, those who have abused drugs may deny it to avoid being "busted," and those who have not used drugs may claim that they have in order to appear to "groove." Articles such as that by Dodson and colleagues are to be encouraged. Hopefully, treatment centers and consultation agencies involved with the problem of teenage drug abuse will continue to try to support their impressions, which may lag behind changes in drug abuse patterns, by keeping similar statistics.
