From the author: A cross-sectional survey design investigated the relationship of school and home self-esteem to history of substance use, membership in alternative education (non-mainstream) school programs, gender, and race. Self-esteem was assessed using the Hare Self-Esteem Scale. Four hundred eleven sixth grade students completed the survey. Results revealed home self-esteem related inversely to tobacco use (F = 15.39, df = 2,343, p |is less than~ .0001), alcohol use (F= 12.08, df = 2,343, p |is less than~ .0001), and use of other drugs (F= 12.28, df = 2,338, p |is less than~ .0001), Similarly, school self-esteem related inversely to tobacco use (F = 15.47, df = 2,354, p |is less than~ .0001), alcohol use (F= 8.74, df = 2,353, p = .00023, and use of other drugs (F= 9.30, df = 2,350, p |is less than~ .0001). Regardless of type of drug, recent users had the lowest self-esteem scores on both subscales and never users had the highest scores. Subjects enrolled in non-mainstream programs had significantly lower home and school self-esteem scores than did subjects in mainstream classes. Race and gender were not associated significantly with self-esteem. Implications for youth substance use prevention and research are discussed. (J Sch Health. 1993;63(5):224-228)
