Abstract
While progress has been made in learning more about American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) who reside in Hawai'i, much more research is needed regarding adolescents' mental health and the major life events that they encounter. Utilizing a large cross-sequential epidemiologic design (N = 7,214; 1992-1996), this study found AI/AN-Hawaiian youth self-reported higher risk of predominantly negative major life events and mental health symptoms than for the non-Indigenous adolescent ethnic group, with the AI/AN and Native Hawaiian ethnic groups falling generally in between. However, when statistically controlling for covariates, overall, Native Hawaiian youth self-reported higher mental-health-symptom risk than the other three ethnic groups. Implications are discussed, including protective factors, prevention, and future research.
期刊介绍：
American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research: The Journal of the National Center is a professionally refereed scientific journal. It contains empirical research, program evaluations, case studies, unpublished dissertations, and other articles in the behavioral, social, and health sciences which clearly relate to the mental health status of American Indians and Alaska Natives. All topical areas relating to this field are addressed, such as psychology, psychiatry, nursing, sociology, anthropology, social work, and specific areas of education, medicine, history, and law. Through a standardized format (American Psychological Association guidelines) new data regarding this special population is easier to retrieve, compare, and evaluate.
