这项探索性研究探讨了如何使用拒绝解释作为夏威夷农村土著青年的抗药策略。在夏威夷大岛的七所初中或中学内开展了 14 个针对特定性别的焦点小组（N=64）。参与者被要求描述耐药策略，以应对早期研究中提出的 15 种假设的文化特定的药物相关问题场景。研究结果表明，用于拒绝的解释类型的变化取决于相关场景中毒品提供者的类型（即同伴/朋友、表兄弟或父母）。参与者还描述了对不同药物提供者使用不同解释的理由。研究结果表明，基于文化的夏威夷青少年毒品预防计划应根据青少年与毒品提供者的关系，纳入特定类型的拒绝解释。
This exploratory study examines the use of explanations for refusal as a drug-resistance strategy for rural Native Hawaiian youths. Fourteen gender-specific focus groups were conducted within seven middle or intermediate schools on the Island of Hawai'i (N=64). Participants were asked to describe drug-resistance strategies in response to 15 hypothetical culturally specific drug-related problem scenarios developed from earlier research. The findings indicate that variations in the types of explanations used for refusal were based on the type of drug offerer in the associated scenario (i.e., peer/friend, cousin, or parent). Participants also described the rationales for the use of different explanations with different drug offerers. The findings suggest that culturally grounded drug prevention programs for Hawaiian youths should incorporate theuse of specific types of explanations for refusal, depending on the youths' relationship to the drug offerer.
