Based on samples of adolescents residing in urban areas in France and in Israel, cross-cultural comparisons of adolescent use of alcoholic beverages, cigarettes, and illicit drugs are reported. Lifetime and current prevalences of use of all substances are higher in France than in Israel. The relative ranking of the prevalence of use of the various drugs is identical in the two countries, and is similar to that found in American samples. In both countries, drug use is more prevalent among males than females, and among older than younger adolescents. There are no differences among different socioeconomic groups. Religiosity affects the rates of use of all drugs in France, and the rates of non-alcoholic substances and the amounts of alcoholic beverages consumed in Israel. Differences in the prevalence of substance use across cultures and within a culture decrease as overall prevalence of use increases.
基于对居住在法国和以色列城市地区青少年的抽样调查，报告了青少年酒精饮料、香烟和非法药物使用情况的跨文化比较。法国所有物质的终身患病率和当前患病率均高于以色列。两国各种药物使用患病率的相对排名相同，且与美国样本中的情况相似。在这两个国家，男性的药物使用率高于女性，年龄较大的青少年高于年龄较小的青少年。不同社会经济群体之间没有差异。宗教信仰影响法国所有药物的使用率，以及以色列非酒精物质的使用率和酒精饮料的消费量。随着总体使用率的增加，不同文化之间以及一种文化内部物质使用患病率的差异会减小。
