本研究探讨了种族/民族和性别差异的药物使用和滥用的物质，而不是酒精的本科大学生。在中西部一所研究型大学，4,580名本科生以概率为基础的样本完成了一份基于网络的横断面问卷，其中包括人口统计信息和几种物质使用措施。男生一般比女生更有可能报告药物使用和滥用情况。西班牙裔和白色学生更有可能报告药物使用和滥用比亚洲和非洲裔美国学生来大学之前和大学期间。本研究的结果揭示了几个重要的种族/民族的药物使用和滥用的差异，需要考虑时，制定大学药物预防和干预工作。
This study examines race/ethnicity and gender differences in drug use and abuse for substances other than alcohol among undergraduate college students. A probability-based sample of 4,580 undergraduate students at a Midwestern research university completed a cross-sectional Web-based questionnaire that included demographic information and several substance use measures. Male students were generally more likely to report drug use and abuse than female students. Hispanic and White students were more likely to report drug use and abuse than Asian and African American students prior to coming to college and during college. The findings of the present study reveal several important racial/ethnic differences in drug use and abuse that need to be considered when developing collegiate drug prevention and intervention efforts.
