This study uses data collected over 8 time periods to examine time-varying and time-invariant predictors of alcohol initiation among urban American Indian youth, an understudied population. Similar socialization risk and protective factors were found to be related to initiation as other American youth. However, a nuclear family was not found to be protective against initiating alcohol use and living with a father only and having an alcoholic father significantly increased initiation odds. In general, these urban Indian youth are much like other American youth in their initiation of alcohol use, although they may initiate alcohol use at slightly lower rates.
本研究使用在8个时间段收集的数据，来检验美国城市印第安青年（一个研究较少的群体）饮酒起始的随时间变化和不随时间变化的预测因素。研究发现，与其他美国青年相似的社会化风险和保护因素与饮酒起始有关。然而，未发现核心家庭对饮酒起始有保护作用，仅与父亲生活在一起以及有酗酒的父亲会显著增加饮酒起始的几率。总体而言，这些城市印第安青年在饮酒起始方面与其他美国青年非常相似，尽管他们开始饮酒的比率可能略低。
