Stability properties of current-driven drift waves are examined in the parametric environment typical of the toroidal reversed field pinch. In particular, the effects of field-aligned current, plasma beta, collisionality, and magnetic shear are examined. Under conditions leading to instability, transport effects are calculated, and found to be dominated by the electromagnetic nature of this instability.
