Résumé : |
ENGLISH : American Indians (AIs) have often reported higher rates of drug use than have other racial/ethnic groups. However, the majority of these studies have focused on drug use among high school adolescents, with little attention to pathological use such as drug abuse or dependence. This study is among the first to report lifetime drug use and disorder (abuse/dependence) information from community samples of two culture groups of AI people-one in the Southwest (SW), one in the Northern Plains (NP)-ranging in age from 15 to 57 years old. Analyses were conducted within four groups: SW men, SW women, NP men, and NP women. Across the four groups, lifetime use rates for marijuana (36.9-57.5%), cocaine (4.3-21.5%), and inhalants (3.6-17.0%) were the highest drug use rates; heroin (0.5-2.1%), the lowest. Lifetime drug disorder rates were highest for marijuana (4.5-14.1%), cocaine (1.1-2.3%), and stimulants (0.7-1.7%). Lifetime polydrug use disorder rates from 1.2 to 4.5%. Women generally had lower prevalence rates than did men in their culture group. The SW women generally had the lowest rates of use and disorder. Lifetime use and disorder rates among the youngest group were often not different from rates of the older groups. Overall, 40-60% had never used any drugs; 85-95% had not developed any drug disorder. Despite widespread concern and rhetoric about drug problems among AIs, many who had used various drugs either were using them without serious consequences or had quit use altogether.
