Note that all youth had to self-identify as American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) to be part of the project. They then completed a survey asking them to label their race/ethnicity. These numbers and percentages reflect what youth reported on the survey and can overlap if they identified more than one race/ethnicity. Thirty-five youth did not check AI/AN on the survey, although they self-identified verbally as AI/AN to be in the study.
