Demographic factors, drug-use severity indicators, social resources, and personal perceptions were tested as correlates of drug-problem recognition among Mexican American drug-using arrestees. Ethnicity-related attitudes, perceptions, and experiences were among the factors tested. Multivariate regression analysis found that lifetime polydrug use and conventional moral beliefs were key deterninants of the perception that one's own drug use is a problem. Implications of these findings are cited for help-seeking and engagement in treatment by Mexican American drug users
