Though various indicators yield different statistics about the minority component of drug problems, Blacks and Hispanics dominate opiate statistics of major data systems. This dominance increases when major consequences--chemotherapy, arrest and, especially, imprisonment--are measured. Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) figures were cited as the exception, but this was due to weaknesses in DAWN reporting and its analysis by experts. Excluding unreliable and unrepresentative crisis center mentions, estimating the Hispanic component of "White" DAWN mentions, and separating opiates from other drugs, the DAWN statistics are very similar to CODAP and arrest statistics. "Hard drugs" remain an essentially minority phenomena.
尽管各种指标得出了关于毒品问题中少数族裔构成的不同统计数据，但黑人和西班牙裔在主要数据系统的阿片类药物统计中占主导地位。当衡量主要后果——药物治疗、逮捕，尤其是监禁时，这种主导地位更加明显。药物滥用预警网络（DAWN）的数据被视为例外，但这是由于DAWN报告及其专家分析存在缺陷。排除不可靠和不具代表性的危机中心报告、估算“白人”DAWN报告中的西班牙裔构成，以及将阿片类药物与其他药物区分开来后，DAWN的统计数据与药物使用情况全国计算机化数据收集程序（CODAP）和逮捕统计数据非常相似。“硬性毒品”本质上仍然是少数族裔的现象。
