The authors recently completed a set of monographs on culture and drug use and abuse in a tribal district in Gujarat in western India where changes have occurred in alcohol consumption, two districts in Karnataka in south India where widespread use of cannabis is prevalent, six districts of Gujarat where extensive opium drinking is common, and also on the drug abuse situation in Goa, Delhi and Bombay. On the basis of those studies, the authors call for decentralized planning and a review of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961, and they critique some of the dominant practices in contemporary prevention and rehabilitation of addicts. The role of the family is examined as a socialization institution for transmittal of culture. The limits posed by patriarchy on the extent to which the family can be an agent of primary or secondary prevention of drug use and abuse are indicated.
作者们最近完成了一系列关于印度西部古吉拉特邦一个部落地区文化与毒品使用及滥用的专著。该地区酒精消费出现了变化；印度南部卡纳塔克邦的两个地区，大麻广泛使用；古吉拉特邦的六个地区，大量饮用鸦片的情况很常见；此外，还涉及果阿邦、德里和孟买的药物滥用状况。基于这些研究，作者们呼吁进行分散规划，并对1961年的《麻醉品单一公约》进行审查，他们还批评了当代成瘾者预防和康复中的一些主流做法。研究探讨了家庭作为文化传播社会化机构的作用。指出了父权制对家庭在多大程度上能够成为预防药物使用和滥用的主要或次要机构所构成的限制。
