Abstract

Analysis of responses of 10,251 high school students surveyed in the 1997 National School-Based Youth Risk Survey indicated that American Indian and Alaska Native youths engaged more often in risky behaviors than White or Black youths. The pattern of involvement in risky behavior was different for youths from the three ethnic groups.
