About the Journal

Gain a better understanding of cultural substance use!

The Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse (formerly Drugs & Society) presents rigorous new studies and research on ethnicity and cultural variation in alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use and abuse. The research is drawn from many disciplines and interdisciplinary areas in the social and behavioral sciences and helping professions. The journal is an important addition to current addiction studies education, providing background knowledge and intervention techniques to educators, policymakers, and practitioners working with today's diverse client population.

The Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse is an international forum for culturally competent strategies in individual, group, and family treatment of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug abuse. The journal also offers strategies for program development and evaluation, prevention programming, and harm reduction strategies that are ethnically or culturally appealing. This journal systematically investigates the beliefs, attitudes, and values of substance abusers, searching for the answers to the origins of drug use and abuse for different populations.

Recent topics covered in the journal include:

perception of substance use problems in Asian American communities by Chinese, Indian, Korean, and Vietnamese populations
the prevalence of alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use among Ghanaian senior secondary students in the urban setting
a descriptive longitudinal study of perceived family stability and substance use with low income African-American adolescents
alcohol problems in Alaska Natives—risk, resiliency, and Native treatment approaches
cultural factors influencing HIV risk behavior among Dominicans in New York City
elderly drug use and racial/ethnic populations

The journal has several regular features, such as “In Brief,” which consists of news articles significant to ethnicity. The journal also publishes letters, reviews of print and nonprint media, and listings of significant Web sites for further investigations.
