This study examines how strength of ethnic identity, multiethnic identity, and other indicators of biculturalism relate to the drug use norms of urban American Indian middle school students. The article distinguishes categories of norms that may affect drug use. Regression analysis of self-reports by 434 American Indian seventh graders attending middle schools in a large southwestern U.S. city indicated that students who had a more intense sense of ethnic pride adhered more strongly to certain antidrug norms than those who did not. Whereas American Indian students with better grades in school held consistently stronger antidrug norms, there were few differences by gender, socioeconomic status, or age. These results have implications in social work practice for better understanding and strengthening the protective aspects of American Indian culture in drug prevention efforts.
本研究考察了族群认同强度、多族裔认同以及其他双文化主义指标如何与美国城市印第安中学生的吸毒规范相关。文章区分了可能影响吸毒行为的规范类别。对美国西南部一个大城市的434名印第安七年级中学生的自我报告进行回归分析表明，具有更强烈族群自豪感的学生比没有这种自豪感的学生更坚定地遵守某些禁毒规范。虽然在学校成绩较好 的印第安学生一直持有更强的禁毒规范，但在性别、社会经济地位或年龄方面几乎没有差异。这些结果对社会工作实践具有启示意义，有助于更好地理解和加强美国印第安文化在毒品预防工作中的保护作用。
