IntroductionThis study was designed to comparison rates of alcohol，marijuana，and cigarette use in Indian-American adolescents with norms from national- and regional representative peer.MethodsSubstance use data from 439 10-grade Indian-American adolescents in长滩，加州的学生的年级和性别-匹配来自监测未来研究的全国代表性数据和来自同一学区内学生的加州健康儿童调查的数据。与全国和地区代表性青年相比，美籍华裔青年使用酒精、大麻和香烟的可能性更小。具体而言，相对于对一般人群和同一学区上学的学生的估计，美籍华裔青年使用酒精和大麻的可能性要小得多。美籍华人青年也不太可能比青年在一般人口吸烟，但没有统计学差异，从青年在同一个学区内conclusionsAs一组，美籍华人青年可能不会特别高的风险，物质使用。与几乎所有人口的情况一样，美籍华人群体中的一些人可能比其他人在药物使用问题上遇到更多困难。因此，需要进行更多的研究，以确定可能有助于确定潜在服务需求高的用户的因素。
IntroductionThis study was designed to compare rates of alcohol, marijuana, and cigarette use in Cambodian-American adolescents with norms from nationally- and regionally-representative peers.MethodsSubstance use data from 439 10th grade Cambodian-American adolescents in Long Beach, California were compared to grade- and gender-matched nationally representative data from the Monitoring the Future study and data from the California Healthy Kids Survey of students within the same school district.ResultsOverall, the Cambodian-American youth were less likely than nationally- and regionally-representative youth to use alcohol, marijuana, and cigarettes. Specifically, relative to estimates obtained for the general population and students attending school in the same school district, Cambodian-American youth were significantly less likely to use alcohol and marijuana. Cambodian-American youth were also less likely than youth in the general population to smoke cigarettes, but did not differ statistically from youth within their same school district.ConclusionsAs a group, Cambodian-American youth may not be at especially high risk for substance use. As is the case with virtually all populations, some individuals within the Cambodian-American group are likely to have more difficulty than others with substance use concerns. Thus, additional research is needed to identify factors that might help to identify high users with potential service needs.
