商品簡介
Presents a study of key risk factors identified with drug use among Hispanic, African American, and White non-Hispanic adolescents, expanding on current models of drug research to account for the unique experiences of these groups. The model underlying the research draws components from three theoretical models: self-derogation/self-esteem, acculturation stress, and perceptions of racial and cultural discrimination and prejudice. Findings provide insights into the sociology and psychology of the adolescent drug abuser, and underscore the importance of culture, neighborhood, and social strata in understanding life course drug use and behavior. For researchers, counselors, therapists, and teachers. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
