- Description:
- The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of self-esteem among crack-cocaine addicts. The variables: income, education and race, were tested to determine if there was a correlation with self-esteem and the use of crack-cocaine. The sample consisted of forty men who were recovering crack-cocaine addicts within a transitional house setting. The instrument involved a questionnaire, with a one-shot administration, seeking demographic, self-esteem, and crack-cocaine involvement data. The analysis consisted of descriptive statistics and the inferential statistical test of Pearson's 1 r1 , correlation coefficient test. The findings demonstrated that a statistically significant relationship exists between the independent variables of the use of crack-cocaine, race, education, income and the dependent variable of self-esteem.
