Herman-Stahl, Mindy; Spencer, Donna L.; Duncan, Jessica E.
American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research, v11 n1 p46-66 2003
A study examining the links between cultural orientation and substance use surveyed 2,449 American Indians from 9 South Dakota reservations. After controlling for age, gender, education, and employment, biculturalism and low orientation to American Indian culture were associated with higher levels of alcohol abuse but were not correlated with drug abuse.
