Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
L'influence des caractéristiques raciales du voisinage est étudiée à partir des données d'une enquête sur l'usage de drogues auprès des ménages. 303 adultes, consommateurs de cocaïne ou de crack, venant de 12 communautés différentes de Chicago, ont participé à l'étude. Ceux issus des communautés les plus ségréguées sont plus susceptibles de sous-évaluer leur consommation de cocaïne.
ENGLISH :
Aims:To examine whether neighborhood racial characteristics are associated with the under reporting of life time cocaine/crack use. Design: A household survey of high-risk communities with above-average admissions to state-supported drug and alcohol treatment programs. Setting: Chicago, Illinois, USA. Participants: A total of 303 adults. Measures: Self-reported use of cocaine/crack during a respondent's life time, hair test assays for cocaine use and level of neighborhood diversity measured using the Simpson Index. Findings: Respondents from more segregated neighborhoods were more likely than those from diverse neighborhoods to under report life time cocaine/crack use. Conclusions: Neighborhood racial characteristics should be considered as an important factor in household surveys on illicit substance use. (Author' s abstract)
