摘要

非法药物滥用在美国仍然是一个严重的问题。当当代美国的毒品政策强调禁止主义的“毒品战争”时,其他国家已经接受了基于公共健康的危害减少。美国当前的政策旨在消除毒品使用,而减少危害则旨在减少其不可避免的后果,这揭示了一种重要的意识形态紧张关系。新闻纸媒体对毒品的描述影响着公众舆论、话语和政策,特别是围绕着减少危害的项目和服务。结合文本话语和定性内容分析,本研究在1990年至2012年期间发表的296篇美国报纸文章样本中探索并描述了“减少危害”一词与非法药物的话语使用。减少伤害的支持者通常将减少伤害和“毒品战争”战略描述为不相容的,他们主张一系列政策变化,而反对者则将减少伤害描述为考虑到毒品的危险而应避免的事情。话语理论框架将关于减少危害的争论置于美国毒品政策霸权的紧张局势中,并考虑到国内和国际政治动态,以及关于物质使用、成瘾和康复本质的信念。

Harm Reduction and Illicit Drugs in U.S. Newspapers
Abstract Illicit drug abuse remains a serious problem in the United States. While contemporary U.S. drug policies emphasize a prohibitionist “War on Drugs,” other countries have embraced public health based harm reduction. Whereas the current U.S. policy aims to eliminate drug use, harm reduction seeks to reduce its inevitable consequences, revealing an important ideological tension. Newsprint media depictions of drugs influence public opinion, discourse, and policy, particularly surrounding harm reduction programs and services. Combining textual discourse and qualitative content analyses, this study explores and describes discursive use of the term “harm reduction” with illicit drugs in a sample of 296 U.S. newspaper pieces published between 1990 and 2012. Typically describing harm reduction and “Drug War” strategies as incompatible, harm reduction supporters advocated a range of policy changes, whereas opponents described harm reduction as something to be avoided given the danger of drugs. A discourse theory framework situates the debate over harm reduction as tension in the U.S. drug policy hegemony, and considers domestic and international politic dynamics, and beliefs regarding the nature of substance use, addiction, and recovery.
