Focus groups were conducted with adolescents and parents as part of a larger study to understand the connection between acculturation and Hispanic/Latino adolescent substance use. Parents (n = 18) were all mothers and had an average age of 42 years. Students (n = 16) were 62% female and had an average age of 14 years. Results are summarized in five categories: culture/ethnic identity, acculturation, parent-child conflict/relationships, gender, and adolescent substance use. Parents and adolescents held similar views in some areas (e.g., pride in ethnic identity and changes in language use), but diverged in others (e.g., indicators of acculturation, gender differences in parenting, and ideas of freedom and independence). Participants in the focus groups did not endorse the association between acculturation and substance use that has been detected in quantitative studies. Implications for substance use prevention and treatment programs are discussed.
作为一项更大规模研究的一部分，针对青少年及其父母开展了焦点小组访谈，以了解文化适应与西班牙裔/拉丁裔青少年物质使用之间的联系。父母（n = 18）均为母亲，平均年龄42岁。学生（n = 16）中62%为女性，平均年龄14岁。结果归纳为五个类别：文化/民族认同、文化适应、亲子冲突/关系、性别以及青少年物质使用。父母和青少年在某些方面持有相似观点（例如，对民族身份的自豪感和语言使用的变化），但在其他方面存在分歧（例如，文化适应的指标、育儿中的性别差异以及自由和独立的观念）。焦点小组的参与者并不认可在定量研究中发现的文化适应与物质使用之间的关联。文中还讨论了对物质使用预防和治疗项目的启示。
