本文综述了关于拉丁裔和非裔美国青少年对传统欧美文化价值观的文化适应及其对其药物滥用行为的影响的文献。该评论包括对研究的批判性分析，这些研究考察了文化适应对拉丁裔青少年心理健康和福祉的影响。讨论了记录拉丁裔青少年文化适应与药物滥用之间关系的最新研究结果。该文章还探讨了关于文化适应在非裔美国青少年药物滥用行为中的作用的研究的缺乏。作者声称，了解文化适应对这些行为的影响可以开始解释为什么非洲裔美国青少年的药物滥用率历来低于欧洲裔美国和拉丁裔青少年。还包括对文化适应在拉丁裔和非裔美国青少年治疗结果中的作用的研究的审查。
This article provides a review of the literature on the acculturation of Latino and African-American adolescents to traditional European-American cultural values, and the effect on their substance abusing behaviors. The review includes a critical analysis of studies that examine the effects of acculturation on the mental health and well-being of Latino adolescents. Recent findings documenting the association between acculturation and substance abuse among Latino adolescents are discussed. The article also examines the dearth of research on the role of acculturation in the substance-abusing behaviors of African-American adolescents. The authors assert that understanding the effects of acculturation on these behaviors could begin to explain why African-American adolescent substance abuse rates have been historically lower than those of European-American and Latino adolescents. Also included is an examination of research on the role of acculturation in treatment outcomes of Latino and African-American adolescents.
