Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Les enfants d'origine hispanique, culturellement moins évolués que les américains, constituent une population à risque. L'étude analyse le contexte familial, les comportements des parents, leurs usages licites et illicites. Les plus touchés sont les jeunes mexicains des faubourgs des grandes villes, et en priorité les filles. Les programmes d'éducation sanitaire doivent être orientés vers la famille.
ENGLISH :
Analysis of data from a nationally representative sample of Hispanic youths age 12-17 and their parents was done to investigate to investigate the impact of a number of variables on youths' drug-using behavior. Parents' attitudes and use of licit and illicit drugs were found to play an important role in their children's drug use behavior. The results also provide some support for the hypothesis that Hispanic children whose parents are more acculturated into American society are at higher risk of using drugs. Youths of Mexican origin, youths living outside large metropolitan areas, and females were found to be more likely to use drugs. The results provide supportive evidence that drug prevention education programs must be family oriented. (From the author's abstract)
