TL;DR
The Reflective Processes Scale provides an assessment of reflective processes about alcohol that Alaska Native youth engage in when thinking about reasons not to drink and has potential to extend understandings of cultural variation in mindfulness, alcohol expectancies research, and culturally mediated protective factors in Alaska Native and American Indian youth.
Abstract
The concept of reflective processes has potential to extend understandings of cultural variation in mindfulness, alcohol expectancies research, and culturally mediated protective factors in Alaska Native and American Indian youth.
