Do Matched High- and-Low-Dose Teens Have Different Intentions About Future Drug Use?

Marijuana 1-2 Marijuana-E Inhalants 1-2 Inhalants-E
Minimum −3 −3 −3 −3
Quartile 1 −1 0 0 0
Median 0 0 0 0
Quartile 3 1 0 0 0
Maximum 3 3 3 3
Deviate .45 −1.06 −.18 1.00

NOTE: Quantiles of 260 matched pair differences, high-minus-low, for four questions, with deviates for the Wilcoxon-signed rank test. A negative difference in a pair indicates the high-dose teen stated lower intentions to use drugs than did the low-dose teen. One question (1–2) asks about use once or twice in the next 12 months, whereas another (every) asks about use in nearly every month in the next 12 months.
