Abstract

SUMMARY, French and Israeli adolescents, like American adolescents studied previously, showed a cumulative sequence of drug involvement, with use of legal drugs preceding use of illegal drugs, and use of beer and wine preceding use of distilled spirits. The ordering of use of legal drugs was most pronounced in Israel, where the prevalence of use of these drugs was lowest.
