本研究调查了格鲁吉亚农村和城市社区学生的吸毒行为。本研究报告的调查结果以90个调查项目的1,897份答复表为基础。样本的社会经济特征，无论是农村还是城市，都符合1970年美国人口普查报告所确定的特征，例如，家庭收入、教育和职业。在农村和城市样本中，实验性使用啤酒/葡萄酒和其他酒精饮料的比例很高（约三分之二）;而约三分之一的人报告说他们使用大麻。在城市和农村社区，男性每周和每天使用各类药物的人数都超过女性。格鲁吉亚城市和农村社区的药物使用情况相当相似，这种使用情况与全国报告的可比年龄组的使用情况密切相关。一个人的吸毒行为和他或她对他/她朋友吸毒行为的看法之间似乎存在差异。
This study investigated drug use behaviors of students in both rural and urban communities of Georgia. Data from 1,897 response forms to ninety survey items served as the basis for the findings reported in this study. The socio-economic characteristics of the sample, both rural and urban, corresponded to the characteristics identified by the United States Census Report of 1970, e.g., family income, education and occupation. Experimental use of beer/wine and other alcoholic beverages was high (approximately two-thirds) for both rural and urban samples; while approximately one-third reported that they used marijuana. In both the urban and rural communities, males exceed females in drug use on a weekly and daily basis in all types of drugs. Drug use in the urban and rural communities of Georgia is quite similar, and this usage closely relates to the national reported usage for comparable age groups. There seems to be a difference between an individual's drug use behavior and his or her perception of his/her friends' drug use behaviors.
