Résumé : |
ENGLISH : It is the primary intention of this paper to draw attention to social problematic features of drug use among two white minority ethnic groups: Portuguese and Italians. The concern about these white minority ethnic groups draws upon a study of problem drug use and race/ethnicity that was conducted at a London drug project in 2000/2001. The study entailed: (1) a detailed study of a sample of files of clients registered with the drug project; and (2) an open-ended questionnaire interview with staff of the project. Data were also drawn from the project's inhouse reports. While this paper focuses on the Portuguese and Italian clientele of the drug project, it also provides data on a control group of indigenous white (English, Scottish and Welsh) clientele of the drug project for comparison. Findings show points of convergence and divergence in the social needs of clients across the three ethnic groups. The findings also point to forms of social exclusion that are seemingly specific to Portuguese and Italians, which can compound their problem drug use. In conclusion, this paper points to the need to assign recognition to white ethnic minority drug use - in its own right - in policy and practical approaches to problem drug use.
