During a 6-month research study of substance abuse outreach and retention methods in Mexico, the authors learned about the common practice of a self-control mechanism to abstain from substance abuse: Juramentos. Juramentos are pledges usually made to the Virgin of Guadalupe in the presence of a Catholic priest. The Jurado promises not to drink during a specified period of time. The authors discuss the dynamics of Juramentos and present data from an exploratory study indicating that Juramentos are being used among Mexican migrants in Florida and may provide a culturally sensitive adjunct for treatment of Mexican and other Hispanic clients in the United States.
在一项为期 6 个月的墨西哥药物滥用外展和保留方法的研究中，作者了解到一种常见的控制机制来戒除药物滥用：宣誓。宣誓通常是在天主教神父面前向瓜达卢佩圣母做出的承诺。宣誓人承诺在特定时间段内不饮酒。作者讨论了宣誓的动态，并提供了一项探索性研究的数据，表明宣誓正在佛罗里达州的墨西哥移民中使用，并且可能为治疗美国的墨西哥和其他西班牙裔客户提供一种文化敏感的辅助手段。
