This review summarizes theories and empirical work regarding socialization contexts contributing to substance use across marginalized adolescents. Future directions and recommendations to minimize the perpetuation of racial stereotypes are provided.
Neighborhoods high in social cohesion may offset substance use risk. Promoting school connectedness via increased support from teachers and peers could reduce school-based discrimination and enhance feelings of belongingness. The influence of peers on substance use engagement largely differs across racial groups and level of acculturation. Family cultural values emphasizing respect, obedience, and collectivism offer protection from substance use.
Despite lower prevalence rates of adolescent substance use within racial/ethnic groups, rates of negative consequences due to substances are far greater compared to White adolescents. Transcultural factors (e.g., strong family ties), as well as culture-specific factors, should be leveraged to delay the onset of substance use and prevent negative sequelae resulting from substance use initiation.
本综述总结了关于导致边缘化青少年使用物质的社会化背景的理论和实证研究。还提供了尽量减少种族刻板印象持续存在的未来方向和建议。
社会凝聚力高的社区可能会抵消物质使用风险。通过增加教师和同伴的支持来促进学校联系,可以减少基于学校的歧视并增强归属感。同伴对物质使用参与的影响在很大程度上因种族群体和文化适应水平而异。强调尊重、服从和集体主义的家庭文化价值观可提供对物质使用的保护。
尽管种族/族裔群体中青少年物质使用的流行率较低,但与白人青少年相比,因物质使用导致的负面后果发生率要高得多。应利用跨文化因素(如紧密的家庭关系)以及特定文化因素,来延迟物质使用的开始并预防物质使用引发的负面后果。
