过去十年中，年轻人滥用处方药的现象激增。然而，围绕这种滥用的背景仍不清楚，特别是亚文化背景。许多城市年轻人参与青年文化。本文描述了青少年亚文化中处方药滥用的亚文化背景。作者利用 12 个月来从不同青年文化场景收集的人种学数据，描述了处方药滥用的亚文化基础。这些场景中固有的象征界限和亚文化资本塑造了年轻人对毒品的思考方式和相应的行为方式。虽然理论家经常将年轻人混为一谈，但人种学数据显示，这些亚文化之间在导致或抑制处方药滥用的因素方面存在相当大的差异。每个场景中更广泛的亚文化精神，以及对其他类型药物的态度，构成了处方药在每个环境中的感知和使用方式。研究结果强调了象征界限和亚文化资本在塑造年轻人日常吸毒行为中的作用。这些数据表明，有关处方药滥用的教育活动应考虑到青年文化场景的可变性，以最大限度地发挥这些针对年轻人的信息的功效。
Prescription drug misuse among young adults has surged over the past decade. Yet the contexts surrounding this misuse remain unclear, particularly the subcultural contexts. Many young urban adults participate in youth cultures. This article describes the subcultural contexts of prescription drug misuse in youth subcultures. Drawing on ethnographic data collected over 12months from different youth cultural scenes, the authors describe the subcultural bases of prescription drug misuse. The symbolic boundaries and subcultural capital inherent in these scenes shape the ways youth think about drugs and behave accordingly. While young adults are often lumped together by theorists, ethnographic data show considerable variation across these subcultures with regard to what may enable or inhibit prescription drug misuse. The broader subcultural ethos in each scene, as well as attitudes towards other types of drugs, frame the ways that prescription drugs are perceived and used in each of these settings. The findings highlight the role of symbolic boundaries and subcultural capital in shaping routine practices of drug use among young adults. These data show that education campaigns about prescription drug misuse should take into account the variability in youth cultural scenes to maximise the efficacy of these messages aimed at young adults.
