Using 2005–2006 National Survey on Drug Use and Health data, this study examined prevalence and correlates of lifetime use among AIANs. Nearly 12% reported methamphetamine use, and over 18% reported nonmedical pain reliever use. Both behaviors were strongly associated with mental health problems, substance co‑use, arrest history, gender, age, and county type. These findings underscore the importance of addressing mental health and contextual factors in prevention efforts and may help guide culturally specific intervention strategies. 000000350 540__ $$fCC BY 000000350 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000350 650__ $$aMethamphetamine$$022135 000000350 650__ $$aMental Health$$022046 000000350 650__ $$aAnalgesics$$014659 000000350 650__ $$aRisk Factors$$025522 000000350 650__ $$aInuit$$018628 000000350 650__ $$aAlaska Natives$$012110 000000350 650__ $$aAmerican Indian or Alaska Native$$035484 000000350 650__ $$aPrescription Drugs$$038366 000000350 650__ $$aDrug Misuse$$012535 000000350 650__ $$aSubstance-Related Disorders$$032029 000000350 6531_ $$aprescription pain reliever 000000350 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000350 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000350 7001_ $$aHoopes, Megan$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000350 8564_ $$98f6d6e55-b7f4-4c4a-ac1e-21b9b5a1cceb$$s1172403$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/350/files/351_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$22f78180f3ed034275debb3922eff7a4b$$31 000000350 905__ $$a/rest/prod/3x/81/6m/63/3x816m63z 000000350 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:350$$pstudent-work 000000350 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000350 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
