“…For example, studies have shown that Native American youths who feel cultural pride and a stronger cultural orientation may exhibit fewer alcohol problems (Herman-Stahl et al, 2003;Yu and Stiffman, 2007). In contrast, however, other studies have found that identifi cation with Native American culture, living on reservations, and participation in Native American traditions may increase substance and alcohol use in some cases (Edwards and Edwards, 1988;Petoskey et al, 1998;Yu and Stiffman, 2007). These relations may be dependent on the particular tribe or cultural traditions involved.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: We investigated drinking behavior and sources of alcohol among Native American and White youths, as well as how underage drinking behavior and sources of alcohol may be related to environmental factors. Method: Survey data from a sample of 18,916 youths (8th, 10th, and 12th grades) from Montana were analyzed using hierarchical linear modeling. Survey data were supplemented with county-level economic and census data. Results: Native American youths were more likely than White youths to report drinking and heavy episodic drinking and initiate drinking at a younger age. Native Americans were less likely than Whites to get alcohol from home or from someone younger than age 21 but were more likely to get it from other social sources or through theft from a store. Living in a county with more Native Americans was inversely related to access to alcohol for both White and Native American youths, as well as reduced lifetime, 30-day, and heavy episodic drinking. Living in a county with more single-parent households was positively related to lifetime drinking, 30-day drinking, heavy episodic drinking, and increased access to alcohol through someone younger than age 21 or a stranger. Median income was negatively related to lifetime drinking and ease of access to alcohol and was positively related to accessing alcohol from home without permission, theft, or purchase with a fake ID.

“…Of particular importance to the current study are the examinations that have looked at issues pertaining to difference among Native American youths residing on and off reservation lands (Beauvais, 1992;Edwards & Edwards, 1988;Pego et al, 1995). In each of these studies, the percentage of substance use was higher among those youths living on reservations.…”

“…Although little more than a comparison group until then, studies examining issues pertaining to substance use among Native American youth began to emerge in the 1980s (Edwards & Edwards, 1988;May, 1982May, , 1986. Since this time, there have been a handful of studies that have focused on Native American's as the primary research interest (Beauvais, 1992;Novins & Baron, 2004;Pego, Hill, Solomon, Chisholm, & Ives, 1995;Spear, Longshore, Micarffrey, & Ellickson, 2005;Steinman & Hu, 2007;Wallace et al, 2002;Walls, 2008).…”

“…R. HeavyRunner-Rioux and D. R. Hollist unemployment on reservation lands, which leads to extended periods of unstructured time and boredom. This is posited as creating opportunities for risky behavior for reservation youth (Edwards & Edwards, 1988;Pego et al, 1995) when compared to Native American youth off of the reservation. These studies suggest that there are key issues pertaining to Native American substance use that merit consideration well beyond that of a comparison group.…”

Using a cross-sectional sample of 8th, 10th, and 12th grade Native American public school children, this study examines hypotheses pertaining to the ability and influence of measures drawn from social bonding, social learning, and social disorganization theories to account for variations in self-reported lifetime and 30 day use of alcohol, marijuana, and illicit drugs. Results derived from ordinary least squares regression equations show significant associations, most notably with variables from the social learning tradition. In addition, comparisons across equations show significant differences in the impact of the theoretical indicators on substance use between respondents in the sub-samples of those residing on and off reservations. The findings suggest that existing theories offer a promising framework for understanding the process of Native American substance use, and that the role of these in some cases differ for adolescents who reside on and off reservations. Contributions to the literature along with suggestions for future research are discussed.

“…Consistent with previous research, where individuals reside was a significant predictor of alcohol-related problems, with individuals living on the reservation being more likely to experience negative consequences related to alcohol. As suggested in the literature, it could be that conditions associated with living on a reservation are conducive to risky behavior (Edwards & Edwards, 1988;HeavyRunner-Rioux & Hollist, 2010).…”

Native Americans have the highest rates of alcohol use in comparison to other ethnic groups, placing them at risk for experiencing alcohol-related problems. The present study examined the beliefs that some Native Americans may have related to alcohol use; specifically, the belief that alcohol is a key component in Native American cultures. To assess these beliefs, we developed the Stereotypical Alcohol Beliefs Scale for Native Americans (SABSNA). The new 20-item measure was administered to 144 individuals who identified as Native American along with a measure of acculturation and other drinking-related measures, including perceived norms, alcohol expectancies, and drinking motives. An exploratory factor analysis revealed that the measure is unidimensional in structure and has excellent internal consistency. SABSNA scores were found to be positively associated with typical week drinking, alcohol expectancies, and drinking motives (social, coping, enhancement, and conformity). Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that level of acculturation moderated the association between alcohol beliefs and weekly drinking. Native Americans who identified less with mainstream culture demonstrated a positive association between their cultural alcohol beliefs and their weekly drinking. The findings suggest that alcohol beliefs would be an appropriate additional target for interventions for individuals who are not oriented to the mainstream culture.
