Although there is ample evidence of discrimination toward Muslim Americans in general, there is limited information specific to Muslim American adolescents. The few existing studies specific to this age group suggest that Muslim American adolescents encounter much discrimination from teachers, school administrators, and classmates. This descriptive qualitative study complements the few existing studies on Muslim American adolescents by obtaining in-depth description of the discrimination they encounter. The sample was 14 Muslim American adolescents who participated in one of two gender-specific focus groups about their discrimination experiences. Findings identified school settings as rife with discrimination toward Muslims, portrayed Muslim girls as at risk for harassment by strangers in public places, and illustrated how Muslim youth cope with discrimination. The study findings sensitize school nurses to the nature of the problem and provide direction for intervention.
尽管有充分证据表明普遍存在对美国穆斯林的歧视，但针对美国穆斯林青少年的具体信息却很有限。现有的少数针对这一年龄段的研究表明，美国穆斯林青少年受到教师、学校管理人员和同学的诸多歧视。这项描述性定性研究通过深入描述他们所遭遇的歧视，对现有的少数关于美国穆斯林青少年的研究进行了补充。样本是14名美国穆斯林青少年，他们参加了两个针对性别不同的关于其歧视经历的焦点小组中的一个。研究结果表明学校环境中充斥着对穆斯林的歧视，描绘了穆斯林女孩在公共场所面临被陌生人骚扰的风险，并说明了穆斯林青年如何应对歧视。研究结果使学校护士对问题的本质有了更深刻的认识，并为干预提供了方向。
