GASOLINE SNIFFING AMONG CHILDREN IN A PUEBLO INDIAN VILLAGE

Arthur Kaufman M.D.1

1 United States Public Health Service Indian Hospital, Albuquerque, New Mexico

To determine the incidence of gasoline sniffing, and the characteristics of Pueblo Indian children indulging in this practice, a questionnaire was given to the 72 children attending a Pueblo Indian village school. Forty-five (62%) stated they had sniffed gasoline as an intoxicant at least once, and many were repeated users. Those who sniffed gasoline did not appear to differ significantly in home environment from schoolmates who did not sniff gasoline.
