ABSTRACT
Participants were residents of New York City and were found through a snowball technique in which one participant would recommend another individual to be interviewed. The mean age for the individuals interviewed was twenty-six. The youngest person was eighteen and the oldest person was thirty-nine. Participants reported that the average amount of time spent on the phone per day was sixtyseven minutes. There was a marked difference in the amount of calls the interviewees reported receiving, versus calls that they initiated, each day: on average, the twenty participants reported receiving 7.38 calls and making 6.58 calls, per day.
