Social Science Journal 54, no. 4 (December 2017): 420-429. DOI: 10.1016/j.soscij.2017.07.001.0362-3319https://scholarworks.montana.edu/handle/1/14652The present study extends prior research exploring the role of school contextual factors in predicting individual adolescent substance use by examining how a school's racial composition is associated with American Indian adolescent tobacco and marijuana use. Using a subsample of 523 American Indian students from the restricted use Add Health data, we consider both individual and school contextual factors across 99 schools. Our results suggest that a school's racial composition is associated with individual tobacco and marijuana use among American Indian youth, but in different ways depending upon the substance. Our findings illustrate the importance of extending research on the correlates of substance use for racial and ethnic minorities beyond studies examining African-Americans and/or Hispanics.enThis Item is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
