Interviews were conducted with 67 Black and non-Hispanic White adolescents to gain detailed descriptions of personal and ethnic identities, perceptions of drugs and drug use norms, and reports of their own drug use behavior. In addition, this study examined ways in which ethnic identity and perceptions of cultural norms were linked to adolescent drug use attitudes. Findings imply that perceptions of culturally specific norms may be related to adolescent drug use attitudes and behavior. The authors argue for increased health campaign prevention efforts directed at erroneous perceptions of ethnic cultural norms.
对67名黑人及非西班牙裔白人青少年进行了访谈，以详细描述他们的个人身份和种族身份、对毒品的看法以及吸毒规范，并了解他们自己的吸毒行为报告。此外，本研究还考察了种族身份和文化规范认知与青少年吸毒态度之间的联系。研究结果表明，对特定文化规范的认知可能与青少年的吸毒态度和行为有关。作者主张加大健康宣传预防力度，以纠正对种族文化规范的错误认知。
