This study focused on the openness of communication in teenagers' relationships with mother, father (or parental figure), and closest friend, and its correlation with teenagers' use of cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs. The predictive value for substance use of perceived pressure form friends, friends' substance use, and parents' substance use was also analyzed. The findings form questionnaires and itnerviews conducted with 37 students at an urban and a suburban / rural high school in new england are reported. The results suggest that the degree to whihc adolescents talk openly with their parents may influence the extent of their substance use. The presence of at least one "open" parental figuew was associated wit lower levels of all substance use. However, there was no evidence that openness with a close friend or perceived pressure from friends is related to substance use.
