This study examined the patterns and correlates of alcohol use in a Native American boarding school. Specifically, stressful life events, social support and emotional distress were associated with quantity as well as frequency of alcohol use in this population. A sample of 188 students (52% female) in grades 9-12 attending a boarding school in the midwest were administered self-report measures of these above constructs as part of a larger battery. Family support, and to some degree stressful life events and emotional distress, correlated significantly with alcohol use. The implications of these findings for Native American adolescents in general, and in a boarding school population specifically, are discussed. The need for longitudinal research to explore further the temporal sequence of depression, stressful life events and social support in relation to alcohol use is addressed.
本研究调查了一所美国原住民寄宿学校中的饮酒模式及其相关因素。具体而言，在这一人群中，生活应激事件、社会支持和情绪困扰与饮酒量及饮酒频率都有关联。作为一项更大规模测评的一部分，对美国中西部一所寄宿学校的188名9至12年级学生（52%为女生）进行了上述这些指标的自我报告测量。家庭支持，以及在一定程度上生活应激事件和情绪困扰，与饮酒显著相关。文中讨论了这些研究结果对一般美国原住民青少年，特别是寄宿学校学生群体的意义。还提到了开展纵向研究以进一步探究抑郁、生活应激事件和社会支持与饮酒之间时间顺序关系的必要性。
