Question by I wish I had stayed..: substance abuse survey?
hi! im trying to figure out if there is a substance abuse problem in my school through a survey, but i cant think questions (need about 5 more..)

our hypothesis: We think there is a substance abuse problem at FHCI that affects gender differently. We feel that boys are more likley to develop this type of problem because of peer pressure, while girls would be more influenced by emotional factors.

can you please help me think of some questions that i can put in our survey that would determine this? Thank you!

Best answer:

Answer by Melanie M
You could ask “Have either of your parents abused substances?”. There is a genetic predisposition for this kind of behaviour.

3. have you ever felt pressured by peers to use drugs
4. do the majority of your friends use drugs
5. have you ever tried drugs
6. if so, how often do you use?

i am in a psychology course as a senior, and i have had to do like 2 of these survey projects.
