all drugs.

Survey (CADUMS) conducted annually since 2008. Limitations are possible sample bias (those most at risk are less likely
to be sampled), and uncertainty about the honesty of people's responses. Bonus: in spite of these limitations, year-by-year
comparisons are useful for spotting increases or decreases.

their religion influences how they make decisions) are less likely to smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, or use any type of
illicit drug.
Bloom's: Evaluate
66. Discuss how personality variables relate to substance use.
Explanation:
Most large surveys find little or no relationship to most personality measures, such as self-esteem. The most consistent
correlations have been found for impulsivity. Bonus: distinguishing between studies of rates of use in the general
population vs comparisons with dependent users, with both impulsivity and personality disorders more strongly associated
with dependence/abuse.
Bloom's: Evaluate
67. What is meant by the term "gateway substance"? Provide an example of a gateway substance? What is wrong with
assuming that use of a gateway substance causes increased use of other substances?
Explanation:
A substance (e.g., cigarettes) that is used before illicit substances AND use of which is associated with increased
likelihood of later use of illicit substances. Assuming a person is generally more likely to engage in deviant or problem
behaviour, the apparent gateway substance might just be the easiest thing for a young person to start with, so it is most
likely to be the first. Bonus: discussion of whether preventing or delaying cigarette smoking would reduce later use of
marijuana or other substances.
