| Abstract | This report summarizes findings and recommendations of hearings on the relationship between adolescent drug use and dropping out of school. Witnesses discussed the nature, dimensions and severity of the problem, State and local initiatives being taken to respond to the problem, and recommendations for Federal action to support and facilitate State and local efforts to deal with the problem. Following an executive summary and general introduction, the report is divided into five sections, which provide respectively: (1) a summary of statements made at the hearing; (2) an overview of relevant social science literature; (3) descriptions of State and local programming on drug abuse; (4) discussion of the Federal role; and (5) hearing recommendations. The major conclusion of the hearing was that a relationship does exist between drug abuse and dropping out, especially among minority students, but no causal relationship could be determined. Special education and dropout prevention efforts are needed, and it is recommended that such efforts should do more than simply provide information. They must also address other problems associated with drugs and dropping out, such as gangs and teenage pregnancy. Federal action is seen as essential, and national initiatives are needed in several areas: financial support for State and local prevention and education programs; programs directed toward youths with special needs; and programs that encourage communities to address drug problems.
