While substance-abusing, schizophrenic populations have been the focus of recent research inquiries (Cuffel et al. 1993; Dixon et al. 1990; Drake et al. 1989; Miller and Tannenbaum, 1989; Mueser et al. 1990), few researchers have attempted to address the prevalence of drug and alcohol abuse among an urban, poor, predominantly minority schizophrenic patient group (Drake et al. 1989). Furthermore, we know of no published account that attempts to document, using ethnographic data, the strategies these patients use to acquire drugs and/or alcohol, and the lifestyles associated with such substance use. The majority of the patients in our research are African-American (roughly 80%) and almost all are on medical assistance, pointing to an indigent population with few external resources and little expendable income.
虽然药物滥用的精神分裂症患者群体一直是近期研究的重点（库费尔等人，1993年；狄克逊等人，1990年；德雷克等人，1989年；米勒和坦嫩鲍姆，1989年；缪泽等人，1990年），但很少有研究人员试图探讨城市中贫困的、以少数族裔为主的精神分裂症患者群体中药物和酒精滥用的患病率（德雷克等人，1989年）。此外，我们不知道有任何已发表的报告试图利用人种学数据记录这些患者获取药物和/或酒精的策略，以及与这种物质使用相关的生活方式。我们研究中的大多数患者是非裔美国人（约80%），几乎所有人都接受医疗救助，这表明这是一个贫困群体，外部资源很少，可支配收入也很少。
