目的：以前的研究表明，美国印第安青年的药物使用与不成比例的发病率和药物滥用有关。需要进一步研究酒精使用的风险和保护因素。目前的研究探讨了美国印第安青少年之间的缓冲同龄人饮酒对学生自己饮酒的影响，学校结合的作用。方法：本研究是一个更大的美国印第安青年饮酒检查的一部分。调查数据收集自2009-2010和2010-2011学年美国37个学区的初中和高中学生。样本由2，582名11至19岁的学生组成：1，606名年龄在16岁以下，976名年龄在16岁或以上。所有学生都自称是美国印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民。样本按性别大致平分（49%为男性）。结果：对于所有学生，同伴饮酒是（a）终生饮酒和（B）饮酒者饮酒水平的危险因素。学校联系与16岁以下青少年终生饮酒的可能性较低以及所有青少年使用者的使用水平较低有关。学校的结合出现了一个保护性因素，缓冲对同龄人饮酒的青少年饮酒者年龄小于16岁。结论：这项研究的结果表明，暴露于饮酒的同龄人的影响和保护作用的学校债券对美国印第安青少年饮酒。预防的影响进行了讨论。(J.种马。酒精毒品。73，597-603，2012）
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-identified 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 influence 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)
