This study examined the prevalence of alcohol and other drug (AOD) use among nurses (aged 19-26 yrs) in the 1984 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) using methods similar to those employed in a study comparing nurses and nonnurses from the 1980-1984 Epidemiological Catchment Area program (ECA). Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate the degree to which AOD use was associated with occupation. Results indicating that substance use is unrelated to occupation lend support to earlier findings from the ECA. (PsycINFO Database Record © 2002 APA, all rights reserved
