Illicit psychoactive substance use, abuse and dependence in a population-based sample of Norwegian twins

2 May 2006

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Prior population-based twin studies from two Anglophonic countries with relatively high rates of drug use - the USA and Australia - suggest that genetic factors contribute substantially to individual differences in the use, abuse and dependence of illicit psychoactive substances. Would these results replicate in Norway, a Nordic country with a low prevalence of illicit drug use? METHOD: Lifetime use,...
