TL;DR
A general pattern of using alcohol, marijuana, and/or inhalants prior to the use of cocaine and other illicit drugs was observed, and the authors recommend its revision to include alcohol,arijuana, and inhalants as initiating substances.
Abstract
To enhance the validity of Stage Theory for AI adolescents, the authors recommend its revision to include alcohol, marijuana, and inhalants as initiating substances.

Age of onset and frequency of use at a lower stage of drug use are strong predictors of further progression, and progression to illicit drugs among men is dependent upon prior use of alcohol.

The developmental pattern of drug involvement identified in the early 1970s still characterizes adolescent pathways of drug involved in the late 1980s and the results confirm the more important role of alcohol among males and cigarettes among females in the progression into various drug classes.

Two prospective longitudinal surveys based on New York State high school students indicate well-defined steps underlying adolescent progression and regression in drug use and the identification of stages in drug behavior has implications regarding the optimum strategy for studying factors that predict, differentiate, or result from drug use.

Drug use of rural youth is similar to that of other youth, but use of Black and Hispanic seniors may be equivalent to or less than that of White seniors, and different locations may also have very different patterns of adolescent drug use, calling for different types of local intervention.

A number of important issues are highlighted, defining the population of American Indians and Alaska Natives for inclusion in a study, participation of the tribes in research and approval by the Institutional Review Board, issues of confidentiality and anonymity of individuals and tribes, identifying potential benefits to American Indian and Alaska Native communities and the importance of evaluating the scientific merit of a proposed study.
