American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) adolescents
have high rates of pregnancy, as well as alcohol, marijuana, cocaine,
and, increasingly, methamphetamine (meth) use. The progression of
adolescent drug use to meth use could have devastating impacts on AI
communities, particularly when youth are simultaneously at risk for teen
childbearing. In order to inform future prevention efforts, this study explores
correlates of meth use in a sample of pregnant AI teens, with a focus on
sociodemographic, familial, and cultural factors and use of other drugs.
