非洲裔美国人在酒精研究中的代表性不足，特别是酒精管理实验室研究。然而，将非洲裔美国人具体招募到实验室研究中，也可能无意中影响了研究结果的概括性。在目前的研究中，我们将所有自愿并符合酒精管理研究标准的非裔美国年轻成年男性(n=53)与同一研究招募的高加索男性样本(n=50)进行了比较。他们在人口统计学、酒精消费的数量和频率以及其他物质的使用、使用的后果和精神病理学等变量上进行了比较。与高加索男性相比，非洲裔美国男性的饮酒频率和饮酒量更少，其他物质的使用更少，负面后果也更少，但他们的酒精和药物使用更有可能与各种精神病理指标有关。结果表明，即使在招募参与者时，使用应该最小化差异的标准(即所有参与者都是“社交饮酒者”)，关键变量上的差异也是明显的。这些差异可能会对酒精研究产生重要影响。
African-Americans are under-represented in alcohol research, especially alcohol administration laboratory studies. Specific recruitment of African-Americans into laboratory studies, however, may also inadvertently affect the generalizability of the findings. In the current study, we compared all African-American young adult men (n = 53) who volunteered and met criteria for an alcohol administration study to a sample (n = 50) of Caucasian men recruited for the same study. Groups were compared on variables including demographics, quantity and frequency of alcohol consumption and other substance use, consequences of use and psychopathology. Compared to their Caucasian counterparts, African-American men reported less drinking frequency and quantity, less use of other substances and fewer negative consequences, but their alcohol and drug use was more likely to be associated with various measures of psychopathology. Results suggest that even when recruiting participants using criteria that should minimize differences (i.e. all participants were “social drinkers”), differences on key variables were evident. These differences may have important implications for alcohol research.
