Tiet Et. Al. (2001) Study

Tiet et al. (2001) study argues that IQ is a protective factor for youth, where maternal psychopathology is a risk factor for youth and children. Tiet et al. (2001) states that a higher IQ benefits youth with coping with adverse life events because they are more likely to critically think and problem solve. These children and youth are better at equipped with using their experience to positively shift their mental thinking (Tiet et al., 2001). Youth with higher IQ are able to think more independently, rather than thinking what their parents believe (Tiet et al., 2001). Tiet et al.

(2013) discusses drug use among Aboriginal people in North America. They state that the use of illicit and prescription drugs is high for Aboriginal peoples compared to the general population. Drug use among Aboriginal peoples is about two to four times higher. (Currie et al., 2013). Their research argues drug use is a risk factor among Aboriginal people and can contribute to adverse outcomes drugs (Currie et al., 2013). Although, Currie et al. (2013) discusses the impact of drug use for Aboriginal peoples and how more research is imperative in gaining knowledge from larger Aboriginal populations. They argue since most of the research is conducted on rural and remote areas, researchers are overlooking evidence from growing urban communities (Currie et al., 2013). Furthermore, mores research may provide a better understanding of how risk factors influence the adjustment of Aboriginal peoples (Currie et al., 2013).
Isaak et al. (2015) discusses that resilience is imperative to Aboriginal peoples. They argue that because of the past stressors and adverse outcomes that Aboriginal peoples experienced, resilience is important (Isaak et al., 2015). Isaak et al.
