This table reflects observed data without imputation. Percentages are calculated among non-missing values.
Scale is from 1 to 4.
Scale is from 1 to 5.
Fisher’s exact test for dichotomous or categorical characteristics; t-test for continuous characteristics.
All youth had to either verbally self-identify as AI/AN or be identified as AI/AN by a parent or community elder 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 identified as Native American to be in the study.
This scale measures ethnic identity and acculturation.
