The present study examined protective and risk factors in the prediction of alcohol use for Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian (i.e. Caucasian, Japanese, Filipino, ‘other’) adolescents. Comparable rates of ~25% were found for both the Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian samples regarding sometimes drinking too much alcohol. However, Hawaiians reported a statistically significantly higher rate (3.7%) of taking ‘a drink in the morning to steady my nerves or to get rid of a hangover’ than non-Hawaiians (1.3%). The reason for this is unknown but might indicate a higher rate of dependent alcohol use. The overall results supported the traditional model of protective and risk factors predicting alcohol use (R2 > 15.0%), with relatively few differences found between the two ethnic groups. Further research is needed in assessing possibly unique cultural variables such as Hawaiian acculturation.
