INTRODUCTION
College attendance is associated with an increased risk for substance use yet we know little about substance use among Native American college students and its regional variation. This study examined alcohol, tobacco, and drug use and their relation to gender, institution, age, and cultural involvement among Native American college students in the Southwest.
METHODS
Native American community college and university students in a large Southwest city (N = 347) completed an online survey about past-month and lifetime substance use and involvement in cultural activities.
RESULTS
Cultural involvement was related to less past-month substance use. In the past month, 43% drank alcohol, 27% binge drank, 20% used drugs, and 13% were current smokers. Males, community college students, and older individuals were more likely to have a positive CAGE-AID and have used drugs more than 100 times. Younger individuals were more likely to use marijuana in the past month.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings highlight cultural strengths and comparatively low rates of tobacco and alcohol use among Native American college students in the Southwest.
简介
大学入学与物质使用风险增加有关，但我们对美国原住民大学生的物质使用情况及其地区差异知之甚少。本研究调查了美国西南部地区美国原住民大学生的酒精、烟草和药物使用情况及其与性别、院校、年龄和文化参与的关系。
方法
在一个大西南城市，对美国原住民社区学院和大学生（N=347）进行了一项关于过去一个月和终生物质使用以及参与文化活动的在线调查。
结果
文化参与与过去一个月的物质使用减少有关。在过去的一个月里，43%的人饮酒，27%的人狂饮，20%的人使用毒品，13%的人是现在的吸烟者。男性、社区学院学生和年龄较大的人更有可能通过 CAGE-AID 测试，并使用毒品超过 100 次。年轻人更有可能在过去一个月使用大麻。
结论
这些发现强调了美国西南部美国原住民大学生的文化优势和相对较低的烟草和酒精使用率。
