This article provides an overview of the Asian and Pacific Islander (API) populations in the United States as it relates to developing targeted alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) prevention media. Although APIs represent several ethnic subgroups, many API communities face the same risk factors including pressure on youth to achieve, immigration and acculturation stressors, shame and denial in addressing substance abuse, and racism and discrimination. The authors recommend that media prevention campaigns targeting API communities emphasize cultural and family strengths and the active involvement of parents. The article concludes with an introduction to eight API communities in the United States.
本文概述了美国的亚裔和太平洋岛民（API）群体，以及与开发针对性的酒精、烟草和其他药物（ATOD）预防媒体相关的情况。尽管API群体包含几个不同的种族亚群体，但许多API社区面临相同的风险因素，包括对年轻人学业成就的压力、移民和文化适应压力源、在解决药物滥用问题时的羞耻感和否认态度，以及种族主义和歧视。作者建议，针对API社区的媒体预防运动应强调文化和家庭优势以及家长的积极参与。文章最后介绍了美国的八个API社区。
