The increase in mean of substance use potential associated with decreases in peer network quality score is much more than in who have a sister with a cigarette smoking habit.ConclusionHaving a sister who smokes interacts with peer network quality; appears to be one of the important mechanisms for adolescents’ tendency to substance use.
