AIMS
This study explored the relationship between social support, community connections, self-esteem, and culture on misuse in American Indian youth.
METHODS
The study team developed a culturally-responsive 16-question survey for American Indian youth ages 12-20 living in six American Indian communities in the Great Plains Region of the United States. The study was grounded in primary socialization theory and variables were explored using regression models.
RESULTS
A total of 565 American Indian youth completed the participant survey between January 2016 and August 2017. The present study found that community connections were negatively associated with marijuana use in American Indian youth. Higher community connection scores were associated with higher social support and self-esteem scores.
CONCLUSIONS
Tribally-led prevention initiatives can fill an important socio-behavioral prevention gap by facilitating social support opportunities for American Indian youth who may not have adequate support from immediate family or friends.
目的
本研究探讨了社会支持、社区联系、自尊和文化对美国印第安青年滥用药物的影响。
方法
研究团队为居住在美国大平原地区 6 个美国印第安社区的 12-20 岁美国印第安青年开发了一个具有文化响应能力的 16 个问题的调查。该研究基于主要社会化理论，使用回归模型探讨变量。
结果
2016 年 1 月至 2017 年 8 月期间，共有 565 名美国印第安青年完成了参与者调查。本研究发现，社区联系与美国印第安青年的大麻使用呈负相关。更高的社区联系得分与更高的社会支持和自尊得分相关。
结论
部落主导的预防计划可以通过为可能无法从直系亲属或朋友那里获得足够支持的美国印第安青年提供社会支持机会，填补重要的社会行为预防空白。
