Alcoholism prevention among Native-American youth

Child Psychiatry Hum Dev. 1993 Fall;24(1):41-7. doi: 10.1007/BF02353717.

Abstract

Although Native-Americans represent a diverse population, alcoholism prevention programs need to apply general knowledge of alcohol use and misuse, rather than search for extraordinary cultural factors. Such an approach would emphasize the importance of social relationships, peer group associations, family interactions, and individual adjustment in the prevention of alcoholism among Native-Americans.
