This study examined the gender differences in drug-offer situations of Native Hawaiian youths in rural communities. Youths from seven middle or intermediate schools (N 194) on the Big Island of Hawai'i completed a survey that focused on the drug offers they had received. Multivariate and bivariate analyses indicated that the girls received significantly more drug offers than did the boys in the sample and found it more difficult to refuse drugs in such situations. Qualitative data gathered from communities in the survey's sampling frame elucidated the quantitative findings. Limitations of the study and implications for prevention practice are discussed.
本研究调查了夏威夷原住民农村社区青少年在毒品提供情境中的性别差异。来自夏威夷大岛七所初中(共194名)的青少年完成了一项聚焦于他们所收到的毒品提供情况的调查。多变量和双变量分析表明,样本中女孩收到的毒品提供显著多于男孩,并且发现在此类情境中更难拒绝毒品。从调查抽样框架中的社区收集的定性数据阐明了定量研究结果。讨论了该研究的局限性以及对预防实践的启示。
