This study examines race/ethnicity and gender differences in drug use and abuse for substances other than alcohol among undergraduate college students. A probability-based sample of 4,580 undergraduate students at a Midwestern research university completed a cross-sectional Web-based questionnaire that included demographic information and several substance use measures. Male students were generally more likely to report drug use and abuse than female students. Hispanic and White students were more likely to report drug use and abuse than Asian and African American students prior to coming to college and during college. The findings of the present study reveal several important racial/ethnic differences in drug use and abuse that need to be considered when developing collegiate drug prevention and intervention efforts.
本研究调查了本科大学生中除酒精以外的药物使用和滥用方面的种族/民族及性别差异。对中西部一所研究型大学的4580名本科学生进行了基于概率的抽样，这些学生完成了一份基于网络的横断面调查问卷，其中包括人口统计学信息和多项药物使用测量指标。男学生比女学生更有可能报告药物使用和滥用情况。在入学前和大学期间，西班牙裔和白人学生比亚裔和非裔美国学生更有可能报告药物使用和滥用情况。本研究结果揭示了药物使用和滥用方面的几个重要种族/民族差异，在制定大学药物预防和干预措施时需要加以考虑。
