Three separate reports are included in this document on American Indian alcoholism. Section I of the document (December 1969) outlines the history, nature, extent, and significance of Indian alcoholism (reporting that the incidence of alcoholism among Indians is twice that of the national average, low socioeconomic status, rather than a physiological propensity, is cited as a major cause). Section II (February 1970) addresses the problems of alcoholism prevention, control, and treatment (direct personal services via both professionals outside the community and nonprofessionals within the community; thorough, coordinated training for those providing services to alcoholics and/or their families; major health education principles and methods; community relationships which utilize the Indian Health Service as a catalyst for program development; the importance of data collection, research, and evaluation in any alcoholism program; and a suggested approach to program planning, including 12 specific recommendations). Section III (April 1970) is a reference guide to alcoholism programs and resources (includes a glossary of common words used in literature on alcoholism, short descriptions of a few of the modern methods of alcoholism treatment, and a list of organizations and agencies which can provide information, consultation, and, in some cases, financial support for community alcoholism program development).
