Abstract

This study was part of an extensive survey of drug use patterns at a small private college in suburban New Jersey during the fall, 1975. Selected items from a questionnaire developed by the Inter-University Drug Survey Council of Metropolitan New York were cross-tabulated in order to examine the relationship between 379 college students' use of marijuana and their parents' attitudes and behavior relative to drug use. Significant results at the 0.01 level were found between (1) time of first marijuana use and parental attitudes toward alcohol and marijuana; (2) time of first marijuana use and parental use of barbiturates, marijuana, and pain-killers; (3) current frequency of marijuana use and parental attitudes toward alcohol and marijuana; and (4) current frequency of marijuana use and parental use of pain-killers.
