本研究对阿拉斯加原住民青年预防酗酒和自杀风险的文化基础理论模型进行了实证检验，使用了一套有前途的文化上适当的措施来研究变化过程和结果。该模型源自定性工作，该工作生成了酒精保护因素的启发式模型（Allen 等人，J Prev Interv Commun 32:41-59, 2006；Mohatt 等人，Am J Commun Psychol 33:263-273, 2004a；Harm Reduct 1, 2004b）。参与者包括 413 名 12-18 岁的阿拉斯加原住民农村青年，他们协助测试了生活原因和反思过程的预测模型，将酗酒后果作为同时发生的结果。特定的个人、家庭、同伴和社区层面的保护因素变量可以预测这些结果。结果表明，这些预测变量作为多级干预理论模型中的中间预防策略目标变量发挥着重要作用。该模型指导对干预中潜在变化过程的理解，以增加关于酗酒后果的生命原因和反思过程的最终结果变量。
This study provides an empirical test of a culturally grounded theoretical model for prevention of alcohol abuse and suicide risk with Alaska Native youth, using a promising set of culturally appropriate measures for the study of the process of change and outcome. This model is derived from qualitative work that generated an heuristic model of protective factors from alcohol (Allen et al. in J Prev Interv Commun 32:41-59, 2006; Mohatt et al. in Am J Commun Psychol 33:263-273, 2004a; Harm Reduct 1, 2004b). Participants included 413 rural Alaska Native youth ages 12-18 who assisted in testing a predictive model of Reasons for Life and Reflective Processes about alcohol abuse consequences as co-occurring outcomes. Specific individual, family, peer, and community level protective factor variables predicted these outcomes. Results suggest prominent roles for these predictor variables as intermediate prevention strategy target variables in a theoretical model for a multilevel intervention. The model guides understanding of underlying change processes in an intervention to increase the ultimate outcome variables of Reasons for Life and Reflective Processes regarding the consequences of alcohol abuse.
