Culture and context: buffering the relationship between stressful life events and risky behaviors in American Indian youth

Baldwin, Julie A., Brown, Betty G., Wayment, Heidi A., Nez, Ramona Antone, Brelsford, Kathleen M.·2011·Substance Use & Misuse

Abstract

The Sacred Mountain Youth Project was conducted to investigate risk and protective factors related to alcohol and drug use among American Indian youth. Findings indicated that stressful life events were positively associated with depressed mood, substance use, and risky behavior; cultural identity had no direct effects, but a secondary model showed that social support and protective family and peer influences were related to cultural identity. These findings suggest that the relationships between stressors and their negative sequelae are complex. Emphasis on protective processes that are culturally specific to American Indian youth may lead to effective alcohol and drug use prevention programs.

  • Strong relationships with parents and prosocial peers, school bonding, and a strong cultural identity are all protective factors for Native youth.

    “Conversely, strong relationships with parents and prosocial peers, school bonding (Dickens et al., 2012) and a strong cultural identity (Baldwin et al., 2011) are all protective factors for Native youth.”
  • Continually feeling stressed over challenging life events can exacerbate the impact of those stressors on the body and mind, outweigh coping resources and potentially make the use of substances a more appealing option.

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.
