Abstract
African American (AA) men in the rural South may be at high risk for experiencing adverse health outcomes from substance use (SU). We conducted a scoping review to explore the research on SU among rural AA men in the rural South of the United States (US). Ten articles addressed the following thematic areas pertaining to SU: factors associated with SU (n = 6), associations between substance use and health outcomes (n = 2), and the influence of impulsivity on SU (n = 2). Additional research on SU among AA men in the rural South is needed, particularly pertaining to treatment-related considerations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse presents rigorous new studies and research on ethnicity and cultural variation in alcohol, tobacco, licit and illicit forms of substance use and abuse. The research is drawn from many disciplines and interdisciplinary areas in the social and behavioral sciences, public health, and helping professions. The Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse is an international forum for identification of emergent and culturally diverse substance use and abuse trends, and the implementation of culturally competent strategies in harm reduction, individual, group, and family treatment of substance abuse. The 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 ethnic groups. The Journal publishes research papers, review papers, policy commentaries, and conference proceedings. The Journal welcomes submissions from across the globe, and strives to ensure efficient review and publication outcomes.
