Young women are more susceptible to addiction it seems. Highlights:
-girls outpace boys in the use of prescription drugs
-girls used cigarettes, drugs or alcohol to reduce stress or alleviate depression
-girls were more likely to abuse substances if they reach puberty early, had eating disorders or were abused
-girls were more likely to pick up these habits when they moved to a new community or a new school or to college
