Abstract

The data were collected through self-report survey during the academic year of 2016, and 355 Kuwaiti youth from 16 schools served as the study sample. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) was used to investigate whether or not direct or moderated relationships existed among the variables in predicting drug use and youths' attitudes towards drugs. . Hierarchical linear modeling was also used to investigate variability among schools in school mean substance use and school mean attitudes towards drugs.
