Abstract
Policies for providing prevention programs in multicultural communities are recommended. These policies are suggested after an assessment of the curre nt literature on Mexican-origin youth and drug use. Additionally, a multicu ltural value system for communication is identified and suggested for consi dering drug prevention in practice, policy, and research.
