The use of cocaine is higher in which group of people?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Hispanic Americans: While substance use varies among populations, Hispanic Americans do not have the highest reported rates of cocaine use. Whites: In terms of drug use by race, White Americans have the highest rates of drug use and abuse. This is likely due to a variety of factors, including socio-economic status, access to drugs, and cultural factors. Asian Americans: Asian Americans typically report lower rates of cocaine use compared to other groups. African Americans: African Americans report lower lifetime use of cocaine, at 8.5%, compared to White Americans (17.6%) and Hispanics (11.1%).
