TY - JOUR PY - 1983// TI - Students and drug abuse, 1974 and 1980 JO - Journal of school health A1 - Ryser, P. E. SP - 435 EP - 436 VL - 53 IS - 7 N2 - The paper presents a secondary analysis of students treated in hospital emergency rooms. The comparison of data provided in 1974 and 1980 data reveals a significant increase in the abuse of alcohol with drugs, methaqualone and marijuana. Fifty percent of these students ingested drugs to commit suicide or as a suicide gesture. These data suggest that school health professionals and counselors be alerted to student drug overdoses to assist students confronted with suicidal ideation.
