Prevalence of Substance Use among Racial and Ethnic Subgroups in the United States, 1991-1993

Analyzes racial/ethnic patterns of substance use in the U.S. using a more detailed classification of race/ethnicity than has been possible in previous reports that used the Nat. Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA). It combines data from 3 large nat. surveys, the Ô91, Ô92, & Ô93 NHSDAs, to estimate the prevalence of substance use, alcohol dependence, & need for illicit drug abuse treatment within 11 racial/ethnic subgroups: Native Amer., Asian/Pacific Islanders, non-Hispanic blacks, non-Hispanic whites, & 7 Hispanic subgroups: Caribbeans, Cubans, Mexicans, Central Amer., Puerto Ricans, South Amer., & other Hispanics.Gerstein, Dean R. is the author of 'Prevalence of Substance Use among Racial and Ethnic Subgroups in the United States, 1991-1993', published 1999 under ISBN 9780788181702 and ISBN 078818170X.
