Conducting Drug Abuse Research with Minority Populations presents crucial recommendations and strategies that will lead you toward unprecedented effectiveness and efficiency when researching this subsection of the world’s drug users. In addition, find new ways to involve community members in the research process, and you’ll come to more fully understand the impact of cultural values, attitudes, and norms in the drug-taking patterns of minority persons.  With this book, you will learn more about:  the importance of advisory boards, gatekeepers, and indigenous workers in this type of research  the crucial role of incentives in recruiting and retaining minority persons in drug abuse studies  focus groups as tools to minimize selection bias of minority subjects  how cultural values may affect research strategies  how research teams can facilitate the collection of data within minority communities  Researchers, college educators, and substance abuse practitioners will find that Conducting Drug Abuse Research with Minority Populations improves their efforts to produce more viable data in a much shorter time span.

Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment in the United States: Exemplary Models from a National Evaluation Study

Teen & Young Adult

The classic Skid Rows of the 1930s are virtually gone today, having been replaced by street populations comprised chiefly of members of different ethnic groups, largely members of minority populations. Homelessness and Drinking is a comprehensive study of one such homeless group in Anchorage, Alaska. The data presented, collected from observations of and in-depth interviews with individuals, provides an unprecedented report of the relationship among drinking behavior and demographic, sociological, and other pertinent variables. Although this study is limited to one specific population, the nature of its findings and its implications are important everywhere. As homeless populations become more prevalent, they present a unique challenge to health and governmental authorities struggling to deal with them. In this study, problems facing both the homeless and those trying to help them are described, providing a clearer understanding of the overall picture of homelessness and drinking. The proposed strategies for aiding recovery include coordinating health and social organizations to create a case management system that focuses on each individual's specific needs, including those of ethnicity. Homelessness and Drinking has universal implications, as it contributes to a better understanding of the needs of contemporary, ethnically dominant, homeless drinking populations. This interesting volume contains descriptive analyses of the homeless population, drinking among the homeless, and the impact of intervention or treatment with chronic drinkers, and theoretical perspectives on the relationships of homelessness, drinking behavior, and ethnicity. At the conclusion of the study, a scheme is proposed to develop a coordinated approach for treating the drinking homeless, taking all of these factors into consideration. Social workers, health administrators, substance abuse treatment providers, alcohol/drug researchers, and psychologists are among the many professionals who will find useful information in this practical book.

Drugs, Daydreaming, and Personality: A Study of College Youth (Psychology Revivals)

Originally published in 1980, this book presents a detailed account of a series of investigations that examined the patterns of resort to drugs and alcohol use in college youth, and how such substance uses are linked to personality characteristics and daydreaming patterns. The Editors chose to emphasize the more "private" features of the personality, because these had often been ignored in earlier research, despite popular assumptions that there are close ties between fantasy, inwardness, "spacey" qualities (all suggesting permanent changes in mental organization), and substance use in youth. This volume will be of interest to a wider audience than just drug and alcohol researchers, because of the effort to go beyond normative patterns of substance use toward explorations of personality and consciousness.

Perspectives on Person-Environment Interaction and Drug-Taking Behavior is a comprehensive review of the interactionist approach to drug use from both a theoretical and applied perspective. This highly important volume offers a timely depiction of the complex multidimensional relationships involving the person, the environment, the drugs used, and the biological processes involved in drug-taking behavior. As drug-taking has escalated in the U. S., research has evolved to permit identification of different sets of attributes that may be associated with different patterns of drug-taking behavior. This valuable contribution to the literature on substance abuse explores how this multidimensionality allows us to identify specific interactions including one’s motive for taking drugs, choice of drug(s), selected personality characteristics and social factors, such as peer influence and the availability of drugs. Discussions include a review of recent developments concerning the interactionist approach--areas of weakness and suggestions for strengthening, an examination of the theoretical basis of the relationship between social sanctions and drug-taking behavior, with special emphasis on the methodological issues involved in such research, a description of the extent to which different aspects of the environment contribute to initiation into drug-taking behavior, a review of the history and theoretical background of the interactionist position, and a critique of the disease concept of alcoholism from a person-environment perspective.

Drug-Taking Behavior Among School-Aged Youth: The Alaska Experience and Comparisons With Lower-48 States

Use this valuable knowledge about drug-taking behavior to plan strategies to prevent or reduce drug-taking among youth. The findings from this unique study have important implications for researchers, educators, practitioners, and local and state policymakers and planners for the development of initiatives for addressing smoking, drinking, and drug use among early adolescents and teenagers. The purpose of this informative volume is to further understand drug-taking behavior among adolescents by providing information on the prevalence, correlates, and consequences of drug-taking behavior among a large sample of adolescents. Although the focus is on Alaska, the findings generalize to comparably aged youth in general; moreover, comparisons with findings from national studies and other states provide interesting results.
