Substance abuse problems and their solutions not only vary considerably depending on the ethnicity of the patient, but also are influenced by factors such as age, gender, education, and socioeconomic status. Familiarity with the epidemiology of substance abuse problems of different sociocultural groups can help the clinician better understand and anticipate the needs of the patient population she or he is serving. The five-part sociocultural assessment model provides a framework to help the practitioner assess the sociocultural needs of an individual patient. Application of this model can help reveal the individual patient's beliefs, motivations, and sociocultural strengths and liabilities with regard to substance abuse. With this information, the clinician can then better address special treatment needs.
药物滥用问题及其解决方案不仅因患者的种族不同而有很大差异，还受到年龄、性别、教育程度和社会经济地位等因素的影响。熟悉不同社会文化群体的药物滥用问题流行病学情况，有助于临床医生更好地理解和预测其所服务患者群体的需求。这个由五个部分组成的社会文化评估模型提供了一个框架，以帮助从业者评估个体患者的社会文化需求。应用该模型有助于揭示个体患者在药物滥用方面的信念、动机以及社会文化优势和劣势。有了这些信息，临床医生就能更好地满足特殊的治疗需求。
