这项研究比较了来自西南两个城市的2,821名西班牙裔和非西班牙裔白色学生的物质使用的终身患病率数据与人口统计学和心理社会变量。研究结果表明，种族背景因素并不是药物使用的最强预测因素。相反，当分析占学校成绩和母亲的教育，非西班牙裔青年有更高的终身物质使用率比西班牙裔青年。研究结果表明，青少年药物滥用问题的预防性干预和治疗工作应考虑社会人口风险因素以及民族-种族因素。
This study compared lifetime prevalence data on substance use with demographic and psychosocial variables among 2,821 Hispanic and non-Hispanic white students from two Southwestern cities. Study findings revealed that ethnic-racial background factors were not the strongest predictors of substance use. Rather, when the analyses accounted for school grades and for maternal education, non-Hispanic youth had higher lifetime substance use rates than Hispanic youth. Study findings suggest that preventive intervention and treatment efforts for substance abuse problems among adolescents should consider sociodemographic risk factors as well as ethnic-racial factors.
