“…On balance, the evidence is strongest with regard to youth and heavy drinkers. We found relatively few studies that examined the impact of policies on different ethnic and cultural groups (e.g., Montag, Clapp, Calac, Gorman, & Chambers, 2012), and further research is recommended on this important topic and also on differential impacts associated with SES (e.g., Ayyagari, Deb, Fletcher, Gallo, & Sindelar, 2013;Crawford et al, 2012;De Silva, Samarasinghe, & Hanwella, 2011). …”

Aims: Numerous policies have been shown to reduce the harm from alcohol; however, not all sub-populations respond similarly to policy interventions. This paper explores the specific effects of alcohol pricing policies and controls regarding physical availability on different types of harms from alcohol as well as on different sectors of the population, including impacts by gender, age, and drinking patterns.Design, Setting, Participants, and Measures: We focus on two dimensions. The first is alcohol pricing and taxation; the second is alcohol availability, comprising type of alcohol control system, outlet density, and hours/days of sale. We focused on peer-reviewed research and reviews published from 2005-2015, using several databases: PsycINFO, MEDLINE/PubMed, and Cochrane.Findings: Precautionary alcohol prices have substantial harm reduction potential, particularly among youth and high-risk drinkers. Restrictions on outlet densities and hours/days of sale impact the drinking patterns of underage youth, reduce high-risk drinking, and reduce alcohol-related harm. A reduction in prices or an increase in alcohol availability are associated with increase in high-risk drinking or alcohol-related harm. Conclusions:Future work should examine these policy measures in light of socioeconomic status and cultural factors, as well as impacts of policy interventions on evidence of harm to others from alcohol.

“…It is necessary to ensure that the tools used are culturally appropriate and psychometrically valid, and that they capture the intended constructs for the AI/AN population accurately and assess unique experience (25,27). Future research will need to continue to address these challenges (10).…”

“…Taken as a whole, the papers demonstrate the variation across AI/AN populations in substance abuse patterns. Further, these articles explore some of the outcomes related to substance abuse, as well as the relationship of substance abuse patterns with other behaviors and comorbidities, in an attempt to provide information particularly relevant to preventing and treating substance abuse and related disorders (10)(11)(12). For example, in addition to disproportionately high substance abuse rates, AI/AN populations also have disproportionately high suicide rates; understanding the overlapping trajectories of these intersecting conditions will be important for designing health solutions (5,11,13).…”

American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) have disproportionately high rates of substance abuse yet there is little empirical research addressing this significant public health problem. This paper is an introduction to a special issue that includes cutting edge science in this research area. We identify several areas that require consideration in this field and indicate how the papers in the special issue address these gaps. These overarching areas of need, which should be considered in any substantive research, include attention to heterogeneity within the population, research that has tangible health benefits, continued work on research methods and strategies, increased focus on strength based and community oriented approaches, and the need for strong research partnerships. The special issue marks a major step forward for AI/AN substance abuse research. However, articles also highlight where more work is need to improve public health in AI/AN communities by addressing identified gap areas.

“…Several studies acknowledged the limited quality of the evidence available for an inference to AI/AN/NH communities. One paper (Montag et al 2012) juxtaposed the limitations of their work against the beneficial inferences that “[n]onetheless…may be gleaned” from their synthesis (441). Several studies (Montag et al 2012; Pollack et al 2012; Teufel-Shone et al 2009; Vimaleswaran et al 2008) noted community approval for primary research.…”

Background The objective of the research was to review reporting of ethical concerns and community involvement in peer-reviewed systematic reviews or meta-analyses concerning American Indian, Alaska Native, or Native Hawaiian (AI/AN/NH) health. Methods Text words and indexed vocabulary terms were used to query PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and the Native Health Database for systematic reviews or meta-analyses concerning AI/AN/NH health published in peer-reviewed journals, followed by a search through reference lists. Each article was abstracted by two independent reviewers; results were discussed until consensus was reached. Results We identified 107 papers published from 1986–2012 that were primarily about AI/AN/NH health or presented findings separately for AI/AN/NH communities. Two reported seeking indigenous reviewer feedback; none reported seeking input from tribes and communities. Approximately 7% reported on institutional review board (IRB) approval of included studies, 5% reported on tribal approval, and 4% referenced the sovereignty of AI/AN tribes. Approximately 63% used evidence from more than one AI/AN/NH population study, and 28% discussed potential benefits to communities from the synthesis research. Conclusions Reporting of ethics and community involvement are not prominent. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses making community-level inferences may pose risks to communities. Future systematic reviews and meta-analyses should consider ethical and participatory dimensions of research.

A Review of Evidence-Based Approaches for Reduction of Alcohol Consumption in Native Women Who Are Pregnant or of Reproductive Age

Abstract: FASDs represent a significant health issue with high personal and societal costs. Improvement of interventions to prevent prenatal alcohol consumption in specific populations, including AI/AN women, is a critical public health need.
