The theoretical argument of the paper is as follows: Traditional values may deter many Latinas from drug use, but they operate to ostracize adolescent girls from cholo (street) families. Those girls may be propelled into drug-using youth gangs or similar peer groups, where they are further channeled to the more deviant subcliques. This pivotal experience initiates a drug-oriented adult lifestyle. Gender norms mean that the typical male career path to and from the gang is different. Data bearing on this argument are presented, and research and intervention implications are explored.
传统价值观可能会阻止许多拉丁裔女性吸毒，但这些价值观却会导致来自cholo（街头）家庭的少女被边缘化。这些女孩可能会被推进吸毒的青少年帮派或类似的同龄人群体中，在那里她们会进一步被引导到更越轨的小团体。这一关键经历开启了以毒品为导向的成年生活方式。性别规范意味着男性进出帮派的典型职业道路有所不同。文中呈现了与这一观点相关的数据，并探讨了研究和干预的意义。
