This paper examines the differences in drug offers and recent drug use between Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian youth residing in rural communities, and the relationship between drug offers and drug use of Hawaiian youth in these communities. Two hundred forty nine youth (194 Hawaiian youth) from 7 different middle or intermediate schools completed a survey focused on the social context of drug offers. Hawaiian youth in the study received significantly more offers from peers and family, and had significantly higher rates of recent alcohol and marijuana use, compared with non-Hawaiian youth. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the social context differentially influenced drug use of Hawaiian youth, with family drug offers and context influencing overall drug use and the use of the widest variety of substances. Implications for prevention practices are discussed.
本文研究了居住在农村社区的夏威夷青年与非夏威夷青年在毒品供应和近期吸毒情况上的差异,以及这些社区中夏威夷青年的毒品供应与吸毒之间的关系。来自7所不同初中或中级中学的249名青年(194名夏威夷青年)完成了一项针对毒品供应社会背景的调查。与非夏威夷青年相比,研究中的夏威夷青年从同伴和家人那里收到的毒品供应显著更多,近期酒精和大麻使用率也显著更高。逻辑回归分析表明,社会背景对夏威夷青年的吸毒有不同影响,家庭毒品供应和背景影响总体吸毒情况以及使用的各类毒品。文中还讨论了对预防措施的启示。
