Abstract
This study examined the role that self-esteem plays in American Indian adolescents’ alcohol use, and perception of risks and benefits of using alcohol. Results suggest that more work is needed to understand the role of self-esteem in American Indian adolescent alcohol use, and that there may be other moderating factors.
