“…The ecological risk and protective process model is reflected in research focused in the etiologies of disease (Link & Phelan, 1995) and mental illness and violence (Hiday, 1995), which argue that individually based risk factors must be contextualized in order to understand the development of adverse health outcomes. Finally, contemporary resiliency theorists also emphasize the importance of a strong, positive cultural/ethnic identity (ethnic pride) as a protective factor, which has been supported in recent research on drug use and American Indian youth (Kulis, Napoli, & Marsiglia, 2002).…”

“…In addition to the protective effect of ethnic pride (Kulis et al, 2002), a developing body of literature has emphasized the protective effect of immediate and extended family members on drug use and American Indian youth. For example, two focus group studies examined the protective impact of siblings and cousins on the drug use of Southwestern American Indian middle school students Waller et al, 2003).…”

SUMMARYThis study examined neighborhood effects on the drug use of American Indian youth of the Southwest. We compared these effects with American Indian and non-American Indian youth in order to examine the universality of neighborhood disorganization as a risk factor for drug use. Neighborhood level variables included unemployment, poverty, education, and violent crime rate. Results indicated that American Indian youth were not as adversely affected by these neighborhood factors. American Indian youth may possess cultural characteristics that protect them from the adverse effects of neighborhood disorganization, including close familial relationships and ethnic pride. Culturally competent practice with American Indian youth may best be implemented through the enhancement of relational and cultural strengths as described in the literature.

“…Specifi cally, American Indian youth appear to be at a heightened risk for consequences of alcohol misuse (Kulis et al, 2002). In one study, approximately one third of American Indian youth began to use alcohol by age 11 (Mail, 1995), and the average age at substance use initiation among American Indian youth is younger than what is found in other ethnic groups .…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Previous research suggests that substance use among American Indian youth is associated with disproportionate rates of morbidity and substance misuse. Additional work to understand risk and protective factors for alcohol use is needed. The current study examined the role of school bonding in buffering the effect of peer alcohol use on a student's own alcohol use among American Indian adolescents. Method: The present study is part of a larger examination of alcohol use among American Indian youth. Survey data were collected from middle and high school students during the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 school years from 37 school districts in the United States. The sample consisted of 2,582 students ages 11-19 years: 1,606 were younger than 16, and 976 were age 16 or older. All students self-identifi ed as American Indian or Alaskan Native. The sample was approximately equally divided by gender (49% male). Results: For all students, peer alcohol use was a risk factor for (a) lifetime alcohol use and (b) level of alcohol use among users. School bonding was associated with a lower likelihood of lifetime alcohol use for adolescents younger than age 16 and a lower level of use among users for all adolescents. School bonding emerged as a protective factor that buffers against peer alcohol use among adolescent alcohol users younger than 16. Conclusions: Results of the study demonstrate the infl uence of exposure to alcohol-using peers and the protective role of school bonding on alcohol use among American Indian adolescents. Implications for prevention are discussed. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 73, 597-603, 2012)

“…The main objectives in the analysis of the American Indian youth subsample was to (1) identify the prevalence, age of initiation, and frequency of drug use; (2) identify the degree of exposure to drugs; and (3) identify how drug use outcomes were mediated by ethnic identity, age, and gender. Based on this analysis, Kulis, Napoli, and Marsiglia (2002) found that American Indian students who had a more intense sense of ethnic pride adhered more strongly to antidrug norms than those who did not. This suggests that ethnic pride for American Indian youth may serve as a protective factor against drug use.…”

The Implications of Ecologically Based Assessment for Primary Prevention with Indigenous Youth Populations

This paper describes a five-stage approach toward conducting an ecologically based assessment with Indigenous youth populations, and the implications of this approach for the development and implementation of culturally grounded prevention interventions. A description of a pilot study funded by the National Institutes of Health/National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIH/NIDA) focused on drug use and American Indian youth is presented as one model for operationalizing ecologically based assessment with Indigenous youth populations, and issues related to translating the pilot study into a prevention intervention are discussed. This paper suggests that ecologically based assessment can serve as a foundation for culturally grounded prevention interventions, promoting the social and ecological validity of those interventions.
