Abstract

This study aims to examine the prevalence of behavioral health problems among Asian American offenders and identify potential risk factors. Findings suggest that Asian American offenders scored higher in psychological distress than Hispanic offenders. They had lower rates of alcohol and drug dependence than white offenders but a higher rate of drug dependence than black and Hispanic offenders. Regression analyses suggest that parental incarceration was associated with higher levels of psychological distress and higher odds of alcohol dependence. Moreover, psychological distress was related to higher odds of alcohol dependence, and drug-related incarceration was associated with higher odds of drug dependence.

亚裔美国罪犯中精神健康和物质使用问题的患病率和风险因素：一项全国代表性研究。

本研究旨在探讨亚裔美国罪犯行为健康问题的普遍性，并找出潜在的危险因素。研究结果表明，亚裔美国罪犯在心理困扰方面的得分高于西班牙裔罪犯。他们的酒精和药物依赖率比白人罪犯低，但比黑人和西班牙裔罪犯的药物依赖率高。回归分析表明，父母监禁与更高程度的心理困扰和更高的酒精依赖几率有关。此外，心理困扰与酒精依赖的可能性较高有关，与毒品有关的监禁与药物依赖的可能性较高有关。

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.
