Rates of drug use and involvement were compared for three groups: Indian youth living on reservations, Indian youth living off reservations and Anglo youth. A consistent pattern emerged, showing the lowest rates of use among Anglo youth, higher rates among non-reservation Indian youth, and the highest rates among Indian youth on reservations. Rates of tobacco use, both smoked and smokeless, and marijuana use are especially high for Indian youth. Indian youth also show a pattern of earlier initiation to drug use. Gender differences reveal slightly higher rates of use for males, although the differences are not great enough to suggest that prevention efforts for males should have a higher priority.
居住在保留地的印第安青年、不住在保留地的印第安青年和盎格鲁青年。出现了一种一致的模式，表明盎格鲁青年的使用率最低，非保留地印第安青年的使用率较高，而保留地印第安青年的使用率最高。吸烟和无烟烟草的使用率以及大麻的使用率在印第安青年中尤其高。印第安青年还呈现出更早开始使用药物的模式。性别差异显示男性的使用率略高，尽管差异不足以表明针对男性的预防工作应具有更高的优先级。
