Social Effects of Minor Tranquilizer Use: Detroit, 1981 (ICPSR 8415)
Released/updated on: 2005-11-04
This study examined the effects of diazapam (Valium) use on a number of social-psychological variables related to mental health. These included stress, coping, perceived performance, and quality of life. A longitudinal survey was conducted in which a heterogeneous group of persons recently prescribed diazapam was interviewed four times, six weeks apart. In addition, questionnaire data were obtained from a significant other in the respondent's personal life and, if employed, from a significant other at work. The same procedure was followed for a group of non-users of diazapam.
