This secondary analysis is based on data from a multi-site study conducted between 2009 and 2013. It is based on a gender-balanced sample (N = 3,380) of AI adolescents (50.50% male; Mean age = 14.75; SD = 1.69) representing the major AI languages and cultural groups in the U.S. Half of the AI adolescents reported lifetime drug use (50.40%), 37.50% never used drugs, and 12.10% stopped using drugs. When controlling for the variables included in the analysis, AI boys were significantly more likely than AI girls to desist from drug use. Both boys and girls who never used drugs tended to be younger, were less likely to have delinquent friends and a lower level of self-control, had stronger bonds to school, but lower levels of family attachment, and reported increased parental supervision. Compared to drug users, desisters associated significantly less with delinquent peers.

Currently, it is unknown how the occurrence of depressive symptoms and various racism experiences influence patterns of substance use behaviors among Black college students. Further, while school belonging is evidenced to promote better health outcomes during adolescence, research is needed to understand school belonging in relation to substance use among Black college students.

This is particularly true in Southern Kerala, where the prevalence of alcohol abuse among tribal communities is estimated to be between 20% and 30%. The prevalence of alcohol use was higher among male tribal members compared to female tribal members who initiated alcohol misuse at a younger age due to parental influence, home environment, and peer pressure.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A mixed methods approach was done to identify substance usage in the tribal community. 101 residents of the tribal community were chosen random and handed the survey, demographic details, substance they were used and using, views regarding substance use were all covered in the survey. Following that, 20 respondents who acknowledged to using at least one substance underwent semi-structured interview.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In total, 101 respondents, 91 men and 10 women were included in the quantitative study. The majority of respondents responded to using substances, including alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana. 74% responded to using tobacco products. This result implies that tobacco usage was very common in the research's population. In addition, 67% of the respondents said that, they consumed alcohol, showing that a significant proportion of the participants used alcohol. 13% responded to using marijuana. Fortunately, the percentage is slightly lower than that of alcohol and tobacco consumption, it nevertheless shows that marijuana use is prevalent in the sample. These findings show that alcohol and cigarette use, in particular, are significantly more common among the respondents. Through qualitative analysis, we were able to find the primary trends in tribal men's consumption of alcohol and substances. They began the usage of substances like alcohol, cigarettes and marijuana at an earlier age as a result of peer pressure, parental influence, and the home environment.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The study explored that, substance usage and its prevalence is high among the tribal communities of southern Kerala.</p>","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142909759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
