N2  - Although studies have examined ethnic differences in psychosocial factors and adolescent alcohol use, most have not examined these relationships for rural adolescents. The Community Drug and Alcohol Survey (CDAS) was completed by 23,163 rural adolescents attending African American secondary schools. Multilevel analysis tested the hypothesis of stronger relationships of peer use and religiosity with alcohol use and a weaker relationship for parental permissiveness and alcohol use for White compared to African American adolescents. <br><br>RESULTS suggested that peer use, religiosity, and parental permissiveness were more strongly associated with changes in alcohol use for White adolescents. <br><br>FINDINGS provide insight for alcohol prevention among rural adolescents.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
