WHAT AMERICAN EMPLOYEES THINK
ABOUT DRUG ABUSE

Question: "I'm going to read you a statement. For each statement, please tell me how much you agree or disagree with the statement using a scale from one to five, where '5' means you strongly agree, '4' means you agree, '3' means you are neutral, '2' means you disagree, and '1' means you strongly disagree."

An overwhelming majority (87%) of those surveyed linked crime and violence to illicit drug use and dealing. Two-thirds (67%) strongly agreed that these two were linked.
Only eight percent of all respondents felt that illicit drug use and dealing were not a major cause of crime and violence.
