Despite extensive research surrounding the adolescent's family and substance use, there is little information in terms of family stability and the relationship with adolescent substance use. There is also little research of these particular issues with low-income African-American youth living in poverty. This project explored the relationship of perceived family stability and substance use with a sample of 233 adolescents (aged 9 to 19) living in public housing. The results imply that the quality or type of family relationship has greater impact upon adolescent substance use than the structure of the family or the stability of the family relationship. It also would seem that strengthening the existing relationship of parents and adolescents would bring greater treatment results than spending time attempting to promote and ensure stability of a particular type of relationship
