本文探讨了青少年大麻使用与出勤率之间的关系。收集了1997年和1998年全国药物滥用家庭调查的数据，形成了15 168名年龄在12-18岁、尚未完成高中学业的青少年的样本。该分析确定了大麻使用在青少年辍学中的作用，并以入学为条件，估计了旷课天数。在所有规格中对大麻使用的潜在内生性进行了测试。结果表明，在所有模型中，任何大麻的使用都与辍学和逃学呈正相关。然而，当将慢性大麻使用（每周或更频繁）与非慢性大麻使用（频率低于每周）区分开来时，发现慢性大麻使用是这些关系的主导因素。研究结果对教育工作者、药物滥用治疗提供者和政策制定者具有重要意义。(C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
This paper explores the relationship between adolescent marijuana use and school attendance. Data were pooled from the 1997 and 1998 National Household Surveys on Drug Abuse to form a sample of 15 168 adolescents, aged 12-18 years, who had not yet complete high school. The analysis determined the role of marijuana use in adolescent school dropout and, conditional on being enrolled, estimated the number of days truant. The potential endogeneity of marijuana use was tested in all specifications. The results indicate that any marijuana use was positively associated with school dropout and truancy in all models. However, when chronic marijuana use (weekly or more frequent) was distinguished from non-chronic marijuana use (less frequent than weekly), chronic marijuana use was found to be the dominant factor in these relationships. The results have important implications for educators, substance abuse treatment providers, and policymakers. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
