“…In addition, rural and urban areas share the distinctions of highest, or equally high, rates of alcohol and drug use compared with lower suburban rates. Specifically, rural areas have higher alcohol abstinence rates (22,143) and higher rates of methamphetamine use compared with nonrural areas (42,68), but there is no consistent pattern of problem drinking by area type. Evidence suggests lower illicit drug use rates among rural adults (42,76) but higher rates among rural young adults (68) compared with their nonrural counterparts.…”

“…De verschillen in prevalentie van middelengebruik tussen stad en platteland zijn ook in Amerika kleiner geworden (Cronk & Sarvela, 1997;Gfroerer et al, 2007;Mink et al, 2005;Shears et al, 2006). Cannabis, cocaïne en ecstasy scoren hoger in Amerikaanse urbane gebieden, terwijl methamfetamine en inhalants in rurale gebieden populairder zijn (Hutchinson & Blakely, 2003).…”

“…Cannabis, cocaïne en ecstasy scoren hoger in Amerikaanse urbane gebieden, terwijl methamfetamine en inhalants in rurale gebieden populairder zijn (Hutchinson & Blakely, 2003). Amerikaanse onderzoekers zetten vraagtekens bij de gangbare overtuiging dat plattelandsjongeren beter beschermd zouden zijn tegen (beginnend) drugsgebruik, betrokkenheid bij criminaliteit, armoede en een minder toegankelijke drugsmarkt dan stadsjongeren (Mink et al, 2005;Gfroerer et al, 2007 (Auclair & Vanoni, 2004;Pettigrew et al, 2012;Rhew et al, 2011). Het gebruik van methamfetamine komt vaker voor in sociaal hechte gemeenschappen waarbij drugsgebruik en handel in de vertrouwde sociale kring op een laagdrempelig niveau afspeelt (Weisheit & Wells, 2014;Wells & Weisheit, 2012).…”

“…We label this linking of education policy and community development as community-aware education policy, and it is based on a conception of human need that is thick (i.e., accounts for a relational context), rather than relying solely on a thin conception (i.e., narrowly targets an instrumental view with an individualistic focus). Knowing that social service interventions (including schools) have limited success when located in communities facing isolation, fiscal constraint, and population loss (e.g., Atterton, 2008;Gfroerer, Larson, & Colliver, 2008;McElwee & Whittam, 2012;McGettigan & Gray, 2012;Patarchanova, 2012;Smalley et al, 2010), we describe how existing resources and policies targeted at schools can be re-envisioned to link children, schools, and communities in ways that are beneficial to individuals and their communities. It is our contention that contemporary policy initiatives can be better designed and implemented so that individual and professional goals are attained while family and community well-being are enhanced.…”
