In The Nine Nations of North America Garreau 1 argues that the North American continent is not so much three countries as it is nine distinctly different cultural regions. The purpose of this research was to compare the time use of North American adolescents by these regions of residence in North America. The time spent in household work, school work and leisure was consistently explained by the weekday/weekend variable and urban/rural area of residence. An interaction between the weekday variable and North American region of residence in the model for time spent in leisure activities may indicate some significant differences.
