Alcohol Use Among American Indians and Alaska Natives Multiple Perspectives on a Complex Problem

The Nat. Inst. on Alcohol Abuse & Alcoholism & the Indian Health Service joined forces to convene a conference in 1996 aimed at identifying both research findings & research needs concerning alcohol problems among Native populations (NP). This report is a direct result of that conference. It is based on extensions of presentations made at the conference plus new solicited chapters. The report represents the findings & views of scientists & clinicians, both Indian & non-Indian, about the multiple dimensions of alcohol use problems among NP. The papers are arranged by topics: epidemiology, genetics, policies, & research; sub-populations of critical concern; special & emerging issues & problems; & future research.Mail, Patricia D. is the author of 'Alcohol Use Among American Indians and Alaska Natives Multiple Perspectives on a Complex Problem' with ISBN 9780756731113 and ISBN 0756731119.
