(1) For the female sample, there were more predictions and relatively stronger predictions from the use/abuse of and from the dependence on illicit drugs, to a subsequent negative self-image and to a negative personal outlook. For the male sample, there were relatively more predictions to making suicide attempts.(2) Of the three types of substances. cocaine use/abuse predicted to the greatest number of negative outcomes; and alcohol use/abuse predicted to no negative Outcomes.
