Description
Summary:This paper, a discussion of "Psychosocial Characteristics and Their Links with Inhalants: A Research Agenda" by Oetting and Webb, commends the comprehensive literature review and notes that available literature consistently finds the same correlates to inhalant use. It suggests that this results from researcher's preconceptions about inhalant use reflected in questions asked, concepts implicit in those questions, the way answers are elicited, and the interpretation of responses.
