This study seeks to identify how rural adolescents make health decisions and utilize communication strategies to resist influence attempts in offers of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (ATOD). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 113 adolescents from rural school districts to solicit information on ATOD norms, past ATOD experiences, and substance offer-response episodes. Rural youths' resistance strategies were similar to previous findings with urban adolescents - refuse, explain, avoid, and leave (the REAL typology) - while unique features of these strategies were identified including the importance of personal narratives, the articulation of a non-user identity, and being "accountable" to self and others.
本研究旨在确定农村青少年如何做出健康决策，以及如何运用沟通策略来抵制酒精、烟草和其他毒品（ATOD）的劝诱。对来自农村学区的113名青少年进行了半结构化访谈，以获取有关ATOD规范、过往ATOD经历以及物质劝诱应对事件的信息。农村青少年的抵制策略与之前针对城市青少年的研究结果相似——拒绝、解释、回避和离开（REAL类型）——同时也发现了这些策略的独特之处，包括个人叙述的重要性、非使用者身份的表达以及对自己和他人“负责”。
