An Indigenous food sovereignty initiative is positively associated with well-being and cultural connectedness in a survey of Syilx Okanagan adults in British Columbia, Canada
Findings suggest that the initiative to re-establish Okanagan Sockeye salmon in the Okanagan River system may have led to better well-being and cultural connectedness among Syilx adults. This study highlights the importance of Indigenous food sovereignty as a way to enhance well-being and cultural connectedness among First Nations in Canada. Findings also reinforce the importance of assessing health and well-being in a wholistic way in Indigenous…
The Trouble With Gender
This article discusses gender in relation to culturally derived scripts that contribute to identity confusion. This exploration is aided by the postmodernist perspectives of several authors who critique the notion of gender as a fixed aspect of identity. Gender is considered as a projection of cultural scripting, which influences the ways in which identity is expressed. Through the lens of Drego’s (1996) model of group culture (developed from Ber…

From Cultural Scripting to Autonomy: Influences on Lesbian Identity
This article links postmodern deconstruction of gender categories to the cultural and intrapsychic processes involved in gender script development. Hargaden and Sills's (2001) theory of the development of self is used to discuss the intrapsychic process of lesbian identity development. Poststructuralist theorist Theresa de Lauretis (1994) is discussed in relation to the claiming of body-ego that the lesbian may be expressing. Identity issues expe…
Public Opinion on Alcohol Policy: A Review of U.S. Research
Public opinion on alcohol policy has received little research attention until recently, although a coherent research agenda in this area holds promise of a better understanding of the public health policymaking process. This paper reviews and critiques the major analyses of policy opinion in the United States, discusses national support for specific policy options, and addresses trends in policy opinion. The dynamics of policy opinion are complex…
The Role of Research in the Development of U.S. Federal Alcohol Control Policy
In the development of federal alcohol control policy, is research used merely to inform policymakers and the public, or to persuade them? Is it critical to the enactment of public policy, or is it an afterthought? To answer these questions, we analyzed in-depth interviews with federal alcohol policy community members, including those of the executive and legislative branches, interest group representatives, advocates, and media professionals. A s…
The Alcohol Policy Development Process: Policymakers Speak
We investigate the policymaking activities of members of the federal alcohol-policy community, including efforts to raise issues on the agenda, develop policy alternatives, and influence political decisions. Qualitative data (observations, attitudes, and activities in relation to alcohol policymaking dynamics) from 64 key-informant interviews inform this analysis of strategies and tactics. The paper draws on archival data, including interest-grou…
Changing the Price of Alcohol in the United States: Perspectives from the Alcohol industry, Public Health, and Research
Based on a study examining the development, modification, and blockage of U.S. federal alcohol policy during the 1980s and 1990s, this paper focuses on alcohol prices and taxes. Data consist of 64 in-depth interviews of experts on U.S. federal alcohol policy, supplemented by findings from archival government reports, trade journals, and the research literature. Prior research has shown an association between increases in price and decreases in pe…
A Study of the Alcohol Policy Development Process in the United States: Theory, Goals, and Methods
The project identified factors influencing U.S. federal alcohol policy formation and especially the role of research. It explored the applicability of John Kingdon's “Policy Stream” model involving three interacting policy streams: problem recognition, policy alternatives, and politics. Each stream is necessary but insufficient for policy formation, and coupling streams in “windows of opportunity” is a key to moving legislation. Federal alcohol-p…
Alcohol Advertising Policies in the United States: National Promotion and Control initiatives
This article describes policy developments in alcohol advertising and counter-advertising at the U.S. national level, including federally mandated warning labels on alcoholic beverage containers, the campaign for health warnings on broadcast advertising, the end of the voluntary ban on advertising of distilled spirits on television and radio, and the debate concerning a health-benefits label on wine products. Federal legislative documents and med…

To assess the severity of the symptoms which define post-traumatic stress disorder (P…
