We report the results of a study of substance use, measured by self-reports and hair test results, and delinquency among arrested youths entering a service intervention program. The results highlight important relationships between their alcohol and other drug use and involvement in delinquency in the year prior to their interviews. The research and service implications of these findings are discussed.
