这项探索性研究探讨了71名美国印第安中学生样本中的药物供应模式的性别差异。与会者对美国西南部印第安青年文化背景下特有的与毒品有关的问题情况清单作出了答复。他们被要求考虑他们社交网络中特定群体提供药物的频率以及与拒绝各种提供者的药物相关的困难。结果表明，女性和伴侣的美国印第安青年不同的程度暴露于毒品的报价和程度的感知困难，在处理这些报价。即使在控制了年龄、年级、社会经济地位、家庭结构和居留地的差异后，女孩报告的朋友、堂兄弟和其他同龄人提供的毒品明显多于男孩。与男孩相比，女孩还报告说，在处理各种来源的毒品供应时，她们的困难感明显更高。
This exploratory study examined gender differences in the patterns of drug offers among a sample of 71 American Indian middle school students. Participants responded to an inventory of drug-related problem situations specific to the cultural contexts of Southwestern American Indian youth. They were asked to consider the frequency of drug offers from specific groups in their social networks and the difficulty associated with refusing drugs from various offerers. The results indicated that female and mate American Indian youth differ in the degree of exposure to drug offers and the degree of perceived difficulty in handling such offers. Even after controlling for differences in age, grade level, socioeconomic status, family structure, and residence on a reservation, girls reported significantly more drug offers from friends, cousins, and other peers than did boys. Compared to boys, girls also reported a significantly higher sense of difficulty in dealing with drug offers from all sources.
