Gender, Grade, and Ethnic Differences in Student Attitudes and Perception of Harm Toward Substance Use

Abstract Inconclusive research results have emerged regarding students' attitudes and perception of harm toward substance use. Additionally, researchers have found mixed results regarding the combination of gender, grade level, and ethnicity with attitude toward use and perception of harm for drug usage. The current study attempts to explore the effects of gender, grade level and ethnicity on drug attitudes and perceived harm by youth. No overall gender differences were found in this study. However, significant differences were found for both grade level and ethnic groups on various drug types.
