Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Données issues de l'étude "Monitoring the Future" de l'université du Michigan, concernant au total 78 000 étudiants de niveau 8, 68 000 du niveau 10, et 64 000 du niveau 12. En fonction des groupes ethniques, l'usage de drogues est le plus élevé chez les filles d'origine américaine et le plus bas chez les filles noires et d'origine asiatique. Les résultats montrent principalement un changement d'usage important au cours du temps chez les filles et une convergence de leur type d'usage de la drogue vers celui des garçons.

Aims: This paper examines ethnic differences in licit and illicit drug use among American 8th, 10th and 12th grade students, with a particular focus on girls. Design: The study uses cross-sectional data from large, ethnically diverse, nationally representative samples of 8th, 10th and 12th grade girls. Setting: Data were collected through questionnaires administered in schools. Participants: A total of 40416 8th grade girls and 17977 8th grade boys. 35451 10th grade girls and 33188 10th grade boys, and 33588 12th grade girls and 31014 12th grade boys took part in the study. Findings: Across ethnic groups, drug use is highest among Native American girls and lowest among black and Asian American girls. Trend data suggest that there have been important changes in girls' drug use over time and that girls' and boys' drug use patterns are converging. Conclusions: Drug use is widespread among American adolescent girls. Future research should examine further girls' drug use and seek to identify whether risk and protective factors identified in past research. based on predominantly white samples, are also important predictors for drug use among non-white girls.
