Abstract
Stress and substance use are related and statistics courses are stressful for students. This study examined relationships between substance use and quantitative attitudes in statistics courses. Results found negative relationships between substance use and quantitative attitudes. Future studies should examine if quantitative stress predicts substance use beyond regular stress.
