Résumé : |
ENGLISH : We explore cultural factors that contribute to substance use in the Asian Indian population in the United State and propose culturally sensitive treatment, with an emphasis on family issues. The 2000 U.S. Census figures show that Asian Indians residing in this country have grown to about 1.7 million from the 1990 U.S. Census figure of 815,000. On average, Asian Indians have a higher level of education and proficiency in English compared with many other new immigrant groups. The median family income for Asian Indians in the United State in 1999 was $70,708, compared with $53,356 for Whites. Based on these statistics, Asian Indians are erroneously labeled a "model minority." However, a closer look shows that Asian Indians are paid lower than their White counterparts with comparable education. Also, many Asian Indians live in areas where the cost of living is higher, and high family income does not automatically translate into a higher standard of living. There is large within-group disparities in income, and Asian Indian families might fall at either end of the Socio-economic status (SES) pole. (Editor's abstract.) |
