历史创伤理论表明，许多美国印第安人仍然受到前几代人所遭受的文化损失和不公正的影响。目前的研究使用历史损失和相关症状的有效测量方法对美国印第安人城市样本中的历史创伤进行了检查(N=120)。与过去研究中保留地的样本相比，美国城市印第安人报告了高度的历史创伤。广义线性模型显示，既往创伤症状与过去一个月的酒精使用、终身使用非大麻非法药物和较低的家庭凝聚力显著相关。然而，经常想到历史上的损失与家庭凝聚力呈正相关。文中还讨论了影响因素。
Historical trauma theory suggests that many American Indians are still affected by the cultural losses and injustices endured by previous generations. The current study examines historical trauma in an urban American Indian sample using validated measures of historical loss and associated symptoms (N = 120). Urban American Indians reported high degrees of historical trauma compared to reservation samples in past research. Generalized linear models showed that historical trauma symptoms were significantly associated with past month alcohol use, lifetime use of non-marijuana illicit drugs, and lower family cohesion. However, frequent thoughts about historical losses were positively associated with family cohesion. Implications are discussed.
