`ABSTRACT
`
`Overall, 28 percent of adult individuals receiving Aid to
`Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) abuse or are
`addicted to drugs and alcohol, a higher rate than the 20 percent
`of people in a comparable age group not receiving public
`assistance. Since almost 90 percent of adult AFDC recipients are
`female, this repot1 focuses on this population.
`
`• Women receiving AFDC are nearly twice as likely to
`abuse or be addicted to alcohol and illicit dmgs than
`women not receiving AFDC (27 percent compared to 14
`percent).
`
`• 3 7 percent of AFDC women 18 to 24 years of age abuse
`or are addicted to alcohol and drugs.
`
`• Mothers receiving AFDC are three times more likely to
`abuse or be addicted to alcohol and dm gs than mothers
`not receiving AFDC (27 percent compared to 9 percent).
`
`The substance abuse problem in AFDC is not confined to
`alcohol or one type of drug. Women receiving AFDC are almost
`twice as likely to use cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana or cocaine as
`women not on public assistance. Among women on AFDC:
`
`• 50 percent smoked cigareetes in the last month, compared
`to 29 percent of non-AFDC women.
`
`• 12 percent consumed five or more drinks in one sitting at
`least two times in the past month, compared to 6 percent
`of non-AFDC women.
`
`• 23 percent used an illicit drug in the past year, compared
`to 12 percent of non-AFDC women.
`
`• 17 percent used marijuana in the past year, compared to 8
`percent of non-AFDC women.
`
`• 34 percent of AFDC mothers who abuse illegal drugs also
`abuse alcohol, compared to 17 percent of non-AFDC
`mothers.
