Behavior Traits such as hyperactivity, peer conflicts and antisocial behavior have many effects on individuals of all ages. In particular adolescents can be affected by these issues to resort to alternative methods to deal with these life events. Marijuana can be one of these methods of choice for adolescents of a wide range of individuals. This study will include data from the NLSY Child/ Young Adult Study. The data was collected from 1979 to 1998 which included approximately 10918 cases. Interviews were conducted through face-to-face interview sessions that included families in the United States. We hypothesize that hyperactivity, peer conflicts and antisocial behavior all influence adolescents to use increased amounts of marijuana. Background variables will include but not be limited to gender and age. This information will be presented by conducting multiple regression analyses. We further predict that a fairly direct relationship will present it self through the analysis of these methods. Search returned 1 items. Search Start: 17:39:09 Search Finish: 17:39:09
