Risk Factors for Adolescent Drug and Alcohol Abuse Risk Factors for Adolescent Drug and Alcohol Abuse in Arkansas is a compilation of archival data for 42 indicators in 75 Arkansas counties. These indicators are measures of risk factors that are based on the work of J. David Hawkins and Richard F. Catalano at the University of Washington's Social Development Research Group and have been found through multiple longitudinal studies to be precursors of substance abuse. These factors have also been found to be related to other risk behaviors such as juvenile delinquency and violence. The most recent edition contains data for the years 1990 and 1993 through 1997.
Previous editions are also available.
