We are pleased to announce that NIAAA has launched a new web-based resource called Native Communities - Alcohol Intervention Review, or NativeAIR. NativeAIR helps American Indian/Alaska Native and other Indigenous communities identify and select evidence-based interventions to prevent and address alcohol-related problems. Developed by NIAAA in partnership with scientific experts having extensive experience conducting alcohol research with Native communities, NativeAIR evaluates nearly 40 alcohol-related interventions involving Native populations from published, peer-reviewed research. Alcohol misuse poses a significant public health burden in the United States. Native populations share this burden of alcohol-related consequences. Their efforts to address alcohol-related challenges—and their collaborations with researchers in their communities—help improve the health and well-being of Native communities. NativeAIR provides research-based information to help Tribal and community leaders, educators, health professionals, and others with their efforts to reduce the adverse impact of alcohol in their communities. Please help us to spread the word about NativeAIR! |
