Methaqualone abusers: a preliminary survey of college students.

A questionnaire was used to survey the methaqualone experiences of college student users, and psychological test data from these users and a control group of non-users were compared. On differential pattern found was that methaqualone users have experimented with a wider variety of psychoactive drugs than have non-users. However, the two groups were essentially indistinguishable on the psychological test variables assessed. A preliminary modal profile of the college student methaqualone abuser and abuse experience was generated.
