Question by BigRedRockEater: Substance Abuse Study – can you refer me to the actual study that generated the finding mentioned below?
A study on substance abuse made this finding , “teenagers who say they’ve learned a lot about the risks of drugs from their parents are much less likely to try marijuana than those who say they learned nothing from them.” Would you be able to guide me to such a study with this finding?

I have a few studies that would support this assertion. Now, be mindful that quotes such as the one you listed are rarely a direct quote from one study, because news and advocacy groups often bend the words both to make them easy to understand and help their cause. But these studies do support the assertion..
