Place-Based Diminished Returns of Parental Education on Adolescents’ Inhalant Use in Rural Areas

Shervin Assari, Hossein Zare · 2025 · Trends journal of sciences research

Summary. Higher parental education typically protects adolescents from inhalant use, but this benefit disappears in rural areas. Using national survey data of 12th graders, the study finds that rural youth from highly educated families face disproportionately high inhalant use risk compared to urban and suburban peers. Geographic marginalization—limited jobs and recreation—undermines the protective effects of parental socioeconomic resources in rural settings.
