Abstract

Objective: Culture may influence attitudes toward alcohol intervention strategies among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) individuals. This study examined AI/AN college students' attitudes regarding harm-reduction (HR) and abstinence-only (AO) intervention strategies to overcome problems with alcohol, including perceived social support for using these strategies.

Method: Participants were AI/AN college students who consumed alcohol (N = 159) and completed a single in-person data collection session. Separate analyses of covariance were conducted to examine perceived effectiveness and self-efficacy for the intervention strategies and perceived support of friends and family.

Results: No difference in perceived effectiveness was found, while self-efficacy was higher for HR than AO for both hazardously and nonhazardously drinking groups. Likewise, participants perceived greater social support for HR than AO strategies, even from friends or family who are abstinent, and no differences were found between hazardous and nonhazardous drinking groups in perceived support for these interventions.

Conclusions: AI/AN students who drink perceived no difference in effectiveness between HR and AO strategies and were more confident in their abilities to utilize HR strategies over AO. Regardless of drinking status, participants perceived they would have greater social support for HR compared with AO strategies from friends and family. The findings indicate that HR intervention strategies may be a socially valid intervention option for AI/AN college students. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民大学生对减少伤害和戒酒干预策略的态度。

目的：文化可能影响美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民（AI/AN）个体对酒精干预策略的态度。本研究调查了AI/AN大学生对减少伤害（HR）和纯戒酒（AO）干预策略的态度，包括对使用这些策略的感知社会支持。方法：参与者是饮酒的AI/AN大学生（N = 159），并完成了一次面对面的数据收集。进行了单独的协方差分析，以检查干预策略的感知有效性和自我效能以及朋友和家人的感知支持。结果：在感知有效性方面没有发现差异，而在危险饮酒组和非危险饮酒组中，HR的自我效能高于AO。同样，参与者感知到HR策略比AO策略更大的社会支持，甚至来自戒酒的朋友或家人，并且在危险和非危险饮酒组之间没有发现对这些干预措施的感知支持差异。结论：饮酒的AI/AN学生认为HR策略和AO策略的有效性没有差异，并且对自己使用HR策略的能力比AO更有信心。无论饮酒状况如何，与来自朋友和家人的AO策略相比，参与者认为他们会获得更多的HR社会支持。研究结果表明，人力资源干预策略可能是AI/AN大学生的社会有效干预选择。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
