The hypothesis that drug use among Honduran street children is a function of developmental social isolation from cultural and structural influences is examined. Data from 1,244 children working and/or living on the streets of Tegucigalpa are described, separating "market" children from "street" children. The latter group is then divided into those who sniff glue and those who do not to identify salient distinguishing factors. An OLS regression of drug usage on these variables results in a model that explains 75% of the variance, where family relations, length of time on the street, and delinquency are the most important factors.
本文检验了一种假设，即洪都拉斯街头儿童吸毒是由于在发展过程中与文化和结构影响相隔离的社会孤立状态所致。文中描述了来自特古西加尔巴街头工作和/或生活的1244名儿童的数据，将“市场”儿童与“街头”儿童区分开来。然后，后一组儿童又被分为吸食胶水的儿童和不吸食胶水的儿童，以确定显著的区分因素。对这些变量进行毒品使用情况的OLS回归分析，得出了一个能解释75%方差的模型，其中家庭关系、街头生活时长和犯罪行为是最重要的因素。
