Heterogeneity in Risk and Protection Among Alaska Native/American Indian and Non-Native Children.

ABSTRACT: Currently, little is known about patterns of co-occurring risk and protective factors among young children. Understanding variations in co-occurring risk and protective factors among children in Alaska is important as experiences of collective trauma may contribute to differences in the intersection of risk and protective factors between Alaska Native/American Indian (AN/AI) and non-Native children.
