This paper reviews a number of indicators of ethnicity commonly used in alcohol/drug use studies. These include the racial, natal, symbolic and cultural approaches to ethnicity. The utility and limitations of each of these approaches is scrutinized. Because ethnicity is a multidimensional concept, using only one dimension, as is the case in many alcohol/drug use studies, is inadequate. One of the major weaknesses of studies of ethnicity and substance use is the failure to recognize the presence of subcultural differences within an ethnic group. Implications of the present review for future research in ethnicity and substance use/misuse and for future development of culturally sensitive programs and services are discussed.
本文回顾了酒精/药物使用研究中常用的一些种族指标。这些指标包括种族、出生地、象征和文化等方面的种族研究方法。对每种方法的实用性和局限性进行了审视。由于种族是一个多维度的概念，许多酒精/药物使用研究仅采用一个维度是不够的。种族与物质使用研究的一个主要弱点是未能认识到一个种族群体内部存在亚文化差异。本文讨论了此次综述对未来种族与物质使用/滥用研究以及对未来文化敏感项目和服务发展的启示。
