This chapter investigates patterns of cocaine use and selected risk factors for Whites, Blacks and Hispanics in 1984 in a national sample aged 19-27, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). Three issues are examined: the prevalence of the use of cocaine and other drugs; the order of initiation into the use of cocaine and other illicit drugs; and the predictors of cocaine use among young adults.
