Abstract

Introduction: Immigrant youth face heightened risks of substance use due to the stress associated with immigration and acculturation. While parental intervention can have a preventative impact on substance use, parents need to be well-informed about substance use and effective interventions that can prevent substance use among immigrant youth. Such interventions ought to be culturally sensitive, family-based, and targeted at the specific substances that are prevalent in a given context. Identifying and curating interventions that can empower parents in addressing substance use can help mitigate the risks that immigrant youth may face.

Methods: This scoping review aimed to identify the types, characteristics, and effectiveness of family-based substance use intervention programs. Based on Arksay and O'Malley's guidelines, interventions included in the review must have met the following criteria: (a) was a family-based intervention aiming to prevent substance use; (b) targeted immigrant teens aged 12 to 17 years old; (c) was published in English; (d) originated from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, or the United States. The pinch table was used to synthesize included articles, after which studies were compared and categorized, and cross-cutting categories were identified.

Results: After screening 4551 searched literature, 13 studies that utilized family-based interventions were included in the review. All interventions were face-to-face programs, and most interventions involved parents and youth as participants. Eco-developmental theory and active learning strategies were used by multiple interventions. Given immigrant families were target stakeholders, both deep structure and surface structure cultural adaptations were utilized. Interventions increased parents' knowledge and skills regarding substance use prevention and delayed substance use initiation among youth.

Conclusion: From the review, it was evident that parents are an essential element in any program aiming to prevent or reduce children's substance use. Besides information about substance use prevention, the curriculum also involves parenting and communication skills for parents to understand the protective effects of family. Effective family-based interventions for immigrant youth require attention to parenting and immigration stress, while also considering cultural adaptation. Future directions and limitations are also discussed.

基于家庭的移民青少年药物使用预防干预:范围审查》。
导言:由于移民和文化适应带来的压力,移民青少年面临着更大的药物使用风险。虽然父母的干预可以对药物使用产生预防性影响,但父母需要充分了解药物使用情况以及可以预防移民青少年使用药物的有效干预措施。这些干预措施应具有文化敏感性,以家庭为基础,并针对特定环境中普遍存在的特定物质。确定并制定能够增强父母处理药物使用问题能力的干预措施,有助于降低移民青少年可能面临的风险:此次范围界定审查旨在确定基于家庭的药物使用干预计划的类型、特点和有效性。根据 Arksay 和 O'Malley 的指导方针,纳入综述的干预措施必须符合以下标准:(a) 以家庭为基础,旨在预防药物使用的干预措施;(b) 针对 12 至 17 岁的移民青少年;(c) 以英语发表;(d) 源自澳大利亚、加拿大、新西兰或美国。研究人员使用撮合表对收录的文章进行了综合,然后对研究进行了比较和分类,并确定了交叉类别:结果:在对 4551 篇检索文献进行筛选后,有 13 项利用家庭为基础的干预措施的研究被纳入综述。所有干预都是面对面的项目,大多数干预都有家长和青少年参与。生态发展理论和主动学习策略被多种干预措施所采用。鉴于移民家庭是目标利益相关者,因此采用了深层结构和表层结构的文化适应措施。干预措施提高了家长在预防药物使用方面的知识和技能,推迟了青少年开始使用药物的时间:综述表明,在任何旨在预防或减少儿童药物使用的计划中,父母都是不可或缺的要素。除了有关预防药物使用的信息外,课程还涉及为人父母和沟通技巧,让父母了解家庭的保护作用。针对移民青少年的有效家庭干预措施需要关注养育子女和移民压力,同时还要考虑文化适应问题。此外,还讨论了未来的方向和局限性。
