Drug Usage/minorities need help with research topic!

[cheebamaster]

Hey all,

I need help coming up with a research topic that hasn't been done on drug usage/minorities or something along those lines. It's a research proposal project in which I have to "bring something new to the table" and come up with a potential study using sociological methods...surveys/data collection etc...anyone want to throw out some ideas?

Is this drug use amongst "minority" populations? (A better word here would be marginalized, hence the scare quotes)

Sounds like the beginning of a thesis project; which as a graduate student, you really shouldn't be outsourcing to the Internets.

How much have you looked into the current literature? You need to read in order to figure out what has been done already.
