Native Americans and Substance Abuse in relation to Crime and Race
Native Americans and Substance Abuse is included in the Encyclopedia of Race and Crime (1), beginning with: While Native American, Alaskan Indian, and Native Hawaiian societies have traditionally used intoxicating substances in religious rituals, the introduction of alcoholic beverages by European explorers and settlers in the New World can be considered the beginning of substance abuse by the Indigenous people of the United States. This section reviews patterns and rates of substance use and abuse among Native Americans and examines causes of substance abuse in this population. It then explores methods of preventing and treating substance abuse among Native Americans and discusses the importance of community involvement. Substance abuse rates for Native Americans tend to be higher for many substances than rates for non-Native People. Inhalant use among Native adolescents (ages 12–17) is more than 3 times that of non-Natives (32% compared to 9%). Twenty percent of Native American adolescents report having used illicit drugs in the past month, 27% report binge drinking, and 26% report smoking.
