The research here investigates race-ethnicity and self-esteem in the misuse of prescription drugs. While there has been much research into the demographic factors that predict prescription drug misuse (PDM), we lack a full accounting of psychosocial factors of possible importance in influencing patterns of race-ethnicity and PDM. One possible influence is self-esteem. We use data from the National Longitudinal Survey on Adolescent Health to investigate race-ethnicity, PDM and self-esteem. Findings indicate first that race-ethnicity is significant is PDM. Secondly, results indicate that self-esteem is important in understanding patterns of prescription drug misuse among young adults, but only among whites.
此处的研究调查了种族和自尊在处方药滥用方面的情况。虽然已经有很多关于预测处方药滥用(PDM)的人口统计学因素的研究,但我们仍缺乏对可能影响种族和PDM模式的重要心理社会因素的全面考量。一个可能的影响因素是自尊。我们使用来自全国青少年健康纵向调查的数据来研究种族、PDM和自尊。研究结果首先表明,种族在PDM中具有重要意义。其次,结果表明自尊对于理解年轻人中处方药滥用模式很重要,但仅对白人群体如此。
