The purpose of this study was to explore homeless youths' perspectives on the power of drugs in their lives, the preferred type of drugs used, barriers to treatment, and strategies to prevent drug initiation and abuse. This was a descriptive, qualitative study using focus groups with a purposeful sample of 24 drug-using homeless youth. The results provided insight into the lives of drug-using homeless youth. The most commonly used drugs were marijuana and alcohol. Reported reasons for drug use were parental drug use, low self-esteem, and harsh living conditions on the streets. Barriers to treatment were pleasurable enjoyment of the drug, physical dependence, and non-empathetic mental health providers. Strategies to prevent initiation and abuse of drugs were creative activities, such as art, sports, and music, and disdain for parental/family drug use and abuse. Comparative research is needed on specific personal factors that cause initiation and deterrence of drugs use/abuse among homeless youth.
本研究旨在探讨流浪青少年对毒品在其生活中的影响、他们偏好使用的毒品类型、治疗障碍以及预防药物滥用的策略的看法。这是一项描述性、定性研究，采用焦点小组的方法，对 24 名使用毒品的流浪青少年进行了有针对性的抽样调查。研究结果深入了解了使用毒品的流浪青少年的生活。最常使用的毒品是大麻和酒精。报告的使用毒品的原因包括父母使用毒品、自尊心低和街头恶劣的生活条件。治疗障碍包括享受药物的愉悦感、身体依赖和缺乏同理心的心理健康提供者。预防药物滥用的策略包括创造性活动，如艺术、运动和音乐，以及对父母/家庭使用和滥用药物的蔑视。需要对导致流浪青少年使用和抵制药物的特定个人因素进行比较研究。
