Abstract

This study examines how strength of ethnic identity, multiethnic identity, and other indicators of biculturalism relate to the drug use norms of urban American Indian middle school students. The article distinguishes categories of norms that may affect drug use. Regression analysis of self-reports by 434 American Indian seventh graders attending middle schools in a large southwestern U.S. city indicated that students who had a more intense sense of ethnic pride adhered more strongly to certain antidrug norms than those who did not. Whereas American Indian students with better grades in school held consistently stronger antidrug norms, there were few differences by gender, socioeconomic status, or age. These results have implications in social work practice for better understanding and strengthening the protective aspects of American Indian culture in drug prevention efforts.

  • The increased availability of substances in the home combined with fewer parental consequences for substance use can create opportunities for youth to explore different substances.

    “The increased availability of substances in the home combined with fewer parental consequences for substance use can create opportunities for youth to explore different substances [32].”

    From Substance and Behavioral Addictions among American Indian and Alaska Native Populations (2022) · cites this paper as [32]

    The Method section measures adolescents’ expectations of parental anger about drug use, and the Results report that some students perceived a lower likelihood of parental anger. The paper does not address substance availability in the home or show that availability combined with fewer parental consequences creates opportunities to try different substances. (LLM, conf=0.72)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • For some AIAN youth it is difficult to refuse drug or other substance offers when they come from parents and other family members or when tobacco products are offered during a ceremony.

    “Specifically, for some AIAN youth it is difficult to refuse drug or other substance offers when they come from parents and other family members or when tobacco products are offered during a ceremony [32,66].”

    From Substance and Behavioral Addictions among American Indian and Alaska Native Populations (2022) · cites this paper as [32]

    The Method section measures confidence in refusing offers from family members, and the Results report that some students were less than confident about resisting drug offers. The paper does not establish that offers from parents or family members are particularly difficult to refuse, and the passages found do not address tobacco offered during ceremonies (no page numbers available in our copy). (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Given the substantial emphasis that AIANs place on family relationships and the extended amount of time that AIAN youth spend with their family members, youth may be more hesitant to refuse engaging in substance use with their cousins or other adult relatives, increasing substance use frequency.

    “Given the substantial emphasis that AIANs place on family relationships and the extended amount of time that AIAN youth spend with their family members, youth may be more hesitant to refuse engaging in substance use with their cousins or other adult relatives (e.g., Tribal elders), increasing substance use frequency [32].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
