最近对物质滥用类型的研究表明，最初为识别酒精亚型而开发的多变量模型在包括海洛因、可卡因和大麻在内的其他物质使用者中也是有效的。关于这些亚型在不同文化亚群中的概括性，人们知之甚少。如果物质滥用类型是普遍的，那么在试图区分文化相关因素对物质使用风险和治疗反应的单独和具体贡献的研究中，控制亚型可能被证明是一种有效的研究策略。在这篇文章中，我们提供了由Babor等人开发的复制A-B型区别的数据，在有实质性问题的西班牙裔青年样本中。
Recent studies of substance abuse typologies indicate that multivariate models originally developed for identifying subtypes of alcoholics are valid among users of other substances, including heroin, cocaine, and marijuana. Little is known regarding the generalizability of these subtypes across culturally different subgroups. If substance abuse typologies are universal, then controlling for subtype may prove to be an effective research strategy in studies attempting to distinguish the separate and specific contribution of culturally related factors to risk for substance use and to treatment response. In this article, we present data that replicate the Type A–Type B distinction, developed by Babor et al., in a sample of Hispanic youths with substance involved problems.
