Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Previous research has suggested that the use of ecstasy is primarily a white phenomenon, To date, however, these studies have all been conducted at single points in time. No research has examined the temporal relationship between race and the use of ecstasy. In the current study, data collected from 10,088 high school seniors surveyed through the Monitoring the Future (MTF) study between 1996 and 1999 are analyzed. Chi-square statistics are used to explore the temporal relationship between race and the use of ecstasy during this time frame. Statistically significant relationships between race and ecstasy use are discerned. Policy implications are assessed in light of the findings. (Author's abstract)
