Five program development studies from Project Towards No Drug Abuse (TND) were re-analyzed to discern Latino versus non-Latino Whites similarities and differences in receptivity to a wide variety of high school-based drug abuse prevention activities. In most of the program development studies, these youth attended alternative (continuation) high schools in Southern California. Although there were a total of 46% Latino students in these schools, 99% of the students indicated English as the main language spoken at school and home. Thus, taken together, almost all Latino youth in the various studies analyzed preferred to respond to survey questions in English. Latinos were relatively low in socioeconomic status (SES) and used drugs less frequently. Still, this group of highly acculturated Latinos and non-Latino Whites (37% of the school population) perceived that they were attending alternative schools for the same reasons (e.g., lack of credits, truancy). Very few differences in receptivity ratings of proposed TND activities were found as a function of ethnicity. In other words, the data suggest that the same types of lessons are applicable to older teens in both ethnic groups.
对“迈向无药物滥用项目”（TND）的五项项目开发研究进行了重新分析，以辨别拉丁裔与非拉丁裔白人在接受各种以高中为基础的药物滥用预防活动方面的异同。在大多数项目开发研究中，这些青少年就读于南加州的替代（延续性）高中。尽管这些学校中拉丁裔学生占总数的46%，但99%的学生表示英语是他们在学校和家中使用的主要语言。因此，综合来看，在各项分析研究中，几乎所有拉丁裔青少年都更愿意用英语回答调查问卷。拉丁裔的社会经济地位（SES）相对较低，吸毒频率也较低。尽管如此，这群高度同化的拉丁裔和非拉丁裔白人（占学校人口的37%）认为他们因相同原因（如学分不足、逃学）就读于替代学校。在对TND提议活动的接受度评级方面，未发现因种族而产生的显著差异。换句话说，数据表明相同类型的课程适用于两个种族的大龄青少年。
