项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Native communities in North America (American Indian, Alaska Native, Canadian First Nations, and Native Hawaiian) often experience significant disparities in substance use problems, including abuse and dependence. Too many children in these communities grow up in households where substance abuse is the norm, putting early development at risk. Later, Native adolescents are at elevated risk for early substance use compared to their peers in other groups, and early use is a clear marker of risk for prolonged and problematic use. Thus, substance use in Native communities is both a potential influence on child development and a potential outcome of development gone awry. A complete literature on development in Native context cannot reasonably ignore substance use. This reality has not escaped the attention of the Native Children's Research Exchange (NCRE). Formed in 2008, NCRE has hosted two meetings (2008 and 2009) in which scholars working with Native children and adolescents have come together to review research and discuss the most pressing agendas for developmental science in Native cultures. In round-table discussions at NCRE meetings, the context of substance use and abuse has repeatedly been brought to the fore. Many NCRE scholars are themselves directly engaged in substance use research; many others recognize the implications of substance use disparities for their work and, in turn, the implications of their work for substance use intervention. One outgrowth of conversations among NCRE scholars has been the recognition that we cannot study indigenous child development in a vacuum, but must place it within the cultural, social, socioeconomic, and physical environmental contexts that shape development. Substance use is one context that characterizes the experience of many Native children. Thus, we propose to focus a set of five annual meetings on the interplay between substance use and child development in Native populations. In these meetings, we will address three specific aims: 1) Facilitate interaction and exchange of information among scholars studying child development in Native communities, with a particular focus on research on the effects of contextual substance use (e.g., parental use, substance use within the extended family and community, peer substance use) and the development of substance abuse problems in the next generation; 2) foster collaborative work to advance Native child development research related to substance use; and 3) provide mentorship to researchers new to developmental research in Native communities and encourage these researchers to consider the implications of substance use disparities for their research.

项目概要/摘要北美原住民社区（美洲印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民、加拿大原住民和夏威夷原住民）在药物使用问题（包括滥用和依赖）方面经常遇到巨大差异。这些社区中有太多儿童在滥用药物的家庭中长大，这使得早期发育面临风险。后来，与其他群体的同龄人相比，土著青少年早期使用药物的风险较高，而早期使用是长期和有问题使用风险的明显标志。因此，原住民社区的物质使用既是对儿童发展的潜在影响，也是发展出错的潜在结果。有关本土背景下发展的完整文献不能合理地忽视物质使用。这一现实并没有逃过本土儿童研究交流中心（NCRE）的关注。 NCRE 成立于 2008 年，已主办了两次会议（2008 年和 2009 年），研究土著儿童和青少年的学者齐聚一堂，回顾研究并讨论土著文化中发展科学最紧迫的议程。在 NCRE 会议的圆桌讨论中，药物使用和滥用的背景一再受到关注。许多 NCRE 学者本身就直接从事物质使用研究；许多其他人认识到物质使用差异对其工作的影响，进而认识到他们的工作对物质使用干预的影响。 NCRE 学者之间的对话结果之一是认识到我们不能在真空中研究土著儿童的发展，而必须将其置于影响发展的文化、社会、社会经济和自然环境背景中。药物滥用是许多原住民儿童经历的特征之一。因此，我们建议将五次年度会议的重点放在原住民物质使用和儿童发展之间的相互作用上。在这些会议中，我们将讨论三个具体目标：1）促进研究原住民社区儿童发展的学者之间的互动和信息交流，特别关注背景物质使用的影响（例如，父母使用、家庭内物质使用）。大家庭和社区、同伴药物滥用）以及下一代药物滥用问题的发展； 2) 促进协作工作，推进与物质使用相关的土著儿童发展研究； 3) 为刚接触土著社区发展研究的研究人员提供指导，并鼓励这些研究人员考虑物质使用差异对其研究的影响。
