Abstract
Family life was examined in relation to different levels of heroin involvement, use of other drugs and deviant behavior. The study population included heroin addicts, experimenters, persons exposed but not using heroin and a comparison sample of persons who neither used nor were exposed to heroin. More elements of family life were related to heroin use by females than males. The relationship with the opposite sex parent had the strongest impact on both male and female heroin users.This publication has 23 references indexed in Scilit:
