Violence and relationship abuse are pervasive public health problems that have a range of negative effects, with exceptionally high prevalence among ethno-racial minority youth. This study assesses the prevalence of these types of violence among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) students and examines the impact of victimization on academic performance of AI/AN and non-AI/AN student populations using self-reported college health survey data. Results show that students who identified fully or partially as AI/AN reported markedly higher rates of all types of violence/abuse than did other students, and students who had experienced violence/abuse had lower grade point averages (GPAs) compared with those who had not. Recommendations for future research and direct practice with AI/AN students are discussed.
暴力和关系虐待是普遍存在的公共卫生问题，具有一系列负面影响，在少数族裔青年中患病率极高。本研究评估了美国印第安/阿拉斯加原住民（AI/AN）学生中这些暴力类型的患病率，并使用自我报告的大学健康调查数据，研究了受害经历对AI/AN和非AI/AN学生群体学业成绩的影响。结果显示，完全或部分认同自己为AI/AN的学生报告的各类暴力/虐待发生率明显高于其他学生，且经历过暴力/虐待的学生与未经历过的学生相比，平均绩点（GPA）更低。文中还讨论了对未来研究以及针对AI/AN学生的直接实践的建议。
