This project aims to understand normative as well as problematic development among American Indian youth.
This project involves the statistical analysis of longitudinal survey data from 1,292 youth covering six years with seven data points. The constructs assessed by survey cover a broad list of topics concerning normative development: e.g., ethnic identity, depressive symptoms, competencies, anxiety symptoms, substance use and misuse, social support, and stressful life events, just to name a few. We are focusing on understanding both how some youth develop problems in young adulthood and how others grow into fully functioning young adults.
