A compilation of cutting-edge research in the field of drug abuse research with specific ethnic-minority groups. This book suggests effective ways to conduct research and enhance research opportunities with such groups. "Ethnic and Multicultural Drug Abuse" includes summaries of ethnic-minority drug abuse literature and identifies knowledge gaps, highlighting areas in need of more research. The authors, most from African-American, American Indian, Asian Pacific-American, or Hispanic backgrounds, discuss topics related to the research development process, report research findings, and make research recommendations for African-Americans. They cover drug abuse research issues existing mainly among Asian Pacific-Americans and Hispanics, and drug use patterns among a sample of American Indian youth and Alaskan youth. As drug abuse among ethnic-minorities continues to rise, the authors point to the need for more research on these groups. Various, chapters present guidelines for preparing competitive research proposals and focus on studies of the major ethnic-minority groups. They also examine in particular, adolescents and the homeless, and discuss theory and development.
A guide for facilitating the organisation of a drug abuse research project emphasising ethnic-minority issues, this book aims to be a welcome resource for all professionals coping with the on-going struggle against drug abuse. It contains practical information for counsellors, researchers in the fields of mental health, drugs and alcohol, and policy planners and administrators in the substance abuse field. "Ethnic and Multicultural Drug Abuse" should prove a useful training tool to assist in educating prospective drug abuse researchers at graduate and upper level undergraduate levels.
