Alcohol Use Among American Indian or Alaska Native Adults Well Below National Average
New Study Shows that the Alcohol Use Rate Among American Indian or Alaska Native Adults is Well Below the National Average
But Native American or Alaska Native adults have a higher rate of binge drinking than the national average
- Eighteen percent of American Indian or Alaska Native adults needed treatment for an alcohol or illicit drug use problem in the past year, nearly twice the national average (9.6 percent).
- 1 in 8 (12.6 percent) American Indian or Alaska Native adults who were in need of alcohol or illicit drug treatment in the past year received it at a specialty facility – about the same as the national average (10.4 percent).
- American Indian or Alaska Native adults’ past month substance use rates drop significantly in older age groups – for example, illicit drug use levels drop from 25.4 percent in the 18 to 25 age group to 4.1 percent in those 50 and older. This pattern is also seen in the general adult population.
