在农村少数民族中，过早开始使用药物似乎是一个令人担忧的趋势。这项研究的重点是18-21岁的非洲裔美国人兴奋剂使用者在阿肯色州密西西比三角洲。大多数参与者没有高中文凭，失业; 74.5%已经被捕。药物使用开始较早，几乎所有的男性和四分之三的女性已经达到终身滥用或依赖的标准。只有18%的人报告说他们曾经接受过药物滥用治疗。结果表明，在农村社区的物质使用干预措施将需要多方面的战略，解决经济，教育和医疗保健的差距。
Early initiation of substance use appears to be an alarming trend among rural minorities. This study focuses on 18–21 year old African American stimulant users in the Arkansas Mississippi Delta. Most participants had no high school diploma and were unemployed; 74.5% had already been arrested. Substance use was initiated early, and nearly all of the men and three quarters of the women already met criteria for lifetime abuse or dependence. Only 18% reported they had ever received substance abuse treatment. The results suggest that substance use interventions in rural communities will require multi-faceted strategies addressing economic, educational and healthcare disparities.
