Validation of the ND-PAE Diagnosis in Children with Heavy Prenatal Alcohol Exposure
This study evaluated criteria for neurobehavioral disorder associated with prenatal alcohol exposure (ND-PAE). Kable et al. (Child Psychiatry Hum Dev 55:426, 2022) assessed the validity of this diagnosis in a sample with low exposure to alcohol. The current study expanded this assessment to a sample with a wider age range and heavier alcohol exposure. Data were collected from participants (5-17 years) with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and typi…
Characteristics of the Symptoms of the Proposed ND-PAE Disorder in First Grade Children in a Community Sample
“The Dop System of Alcohol Distribution is Dead, but It’s Legacy Lives On….”
Objective: Determine the prevalence of Dop, a system of labor payment via alcoholic beverages, in a South African province, and its influence on maternal drinking and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). Methods: Data from studies of FASD epidemiology were analyzed. Results: Forty-two percent to 67% of mothers reported drinking. In 1999, 5% of women reported Dop allocations in their lifetime: 14% of mothers of FASD children and 1% of controls…

Replication of High Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Prevalence Rates, Child Characteristics, and Maternal Risk Factors in a Second Sample of Rural Communities in South Africa
Background : Prevalence and characteristics of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and total fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) were studied in a second sample of three South African rural communities to assess change. Methods : Active case ascertainment focused on children with height, weight and/or head circumference ≤25th centile and randomly-selected children. Final diagnoses were based on dysmorphology, neurobehavioral scores, and maternal ris…
Indicated Prevention of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders in South Africa
In the Western Cape Province of South Africa (ZA) a subculture of binge drinking produces the highest global documented prevalence of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). FASD prevention research activities in ZA use the Comprehensive Prevention approach from the United States Institute of Medicine. Case management (CM) was delivered as a method of indicated prevention to empower heavy drinking pregnant women to achieve cessation or a reducti…
Alcohol Use, Working Conditions, Job Benefits, and the Legacy of the “Dop” System among Farm Workers in the Western Cape Province, South Africa
This study describes alcohol consumption in five Western Cape Province communities. Cross-sectional data from a community household sample (n = 591) describe the alcohol use patterns of adult males and females, and farm workers vs. others. Data reveal that men were more likely to be current drinkers than women, 75.1% vs. 65.8% (p = 0.033); farm laborers were more likely to be current drinkers than individuals in other occupations 83.1% vs. 66.8% …
Prevalence of Children with Severe Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders in Communities Near Rome, Italy
These rates are substantially higher than previous estimates of FAS and overall FASD for the general populations of Western Europe and the U. S., and raise questions as to the total impact of FASD on mental deficit in mainstream populations of Western Europe and the United States where the majority are middle class and are not believed to be characterized by heavy episodic drinking
Reflections on a proposed theory of reservation-dwelling American Indian alcohol use
In their recent article, N. Spillane and G. Smith suggested that reservation-dwelling American Indians have higher rates of problem drinking than do either non-American Indians or those American Indians living in nonreservation settings. These authors further argued that problematic alcohol use patterns in reservation communities are due to the lack of contingencies between drinking and "standard life reinforcers" (SLRs), such as employment, hous…

Maternal Risk Factors for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome in the Western Cape Province of South Africa
Objectives. We defined risk factors for fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) in a region with the highest documented prevalence of FAS in the world. Methods. We compared mothers of 53 first-grade students with FAS (cases) with 116 randomly selected mothers of first-grade students without FAS (controls). Results. Differences between case and control mothers in our study population existed regarding socioeconomic status, religiosity, education, gravidity, …
Outcome Evaluation of a Public Health Approach to Suicide Prevention in an American Indian Tribal Nation
Objectives. We evaluated the efficacy of 15 years of a public health–oriented suicidal-behavior prevention program among youths living on an American Indian reservation. Methods. All suicides, suicide attempts, and suicidal gestures were monitored. Age-specific analyses over time were used to assess outcomes. Results. Both descriptive and linear regression analyses indicated that a substantial drop occurred in suicidal gestures and attempts. Suic…
Sweat Lodge Ceremonies for Jail-Based Treatment
Sweat lodge ceremonies (SLCs) have been an integral part of Navajo culture for hundreds of year. The Dine' Center for Substance Abuse Treatment staff utilized SLCs as a modality for jail-based treatment. Data were collected from the Spring of 1996 through the Spring of 1999 from 190 men ranging in age from 18 to 64. These inmate/patients (IPs) provided information at intake on a broad range of questions which were important in understanding the p…
Indian Adolescent Suicide
The Epidemiology of Alcohol Abuse among American Indians
Because of the drunken Indian stereotype and other myths often associated with American Indians, it is important to critically examine the detailed evidence that best defines the epidemiology of alcohol abuse among Indians and particular tribal communities. Public health understandings and programs must be based not on myth but on fact. In this paper, twelve major myths, statements, and questions about the nature of the alcohol abuse problem are …

An Update on American Indian Suicide in New Mexico, 1980-1987
This paper updates a previous study of American Indian suicide in New Mexico which covered the years 1957-1979. Rates for completed suicides among the Apache, Navajo, and Pueblo for 1980-1987 are compared to earlier rates, as are selected demographic and situational variables. Major findings suggest that suicide rates are stabilizing or declining for all three groups in the most recent years. For the Apache and Pueblo groups, however, this trend …

A Bibliography on Suicide and Suicide Attempts among American Indians and Alaska Natives
Presented here is a bibliography on suicide and self-destruction among American Indians and the native peoples of Alaska. This area of knowledge has been characterized by rapid growth in the last twenty years. The number of existing sources now totals 160 items. All of these works are listed here with a brief documentation of trends in the literature
Native American Suicide in New Mexico, 1957-1979
This descriptive and epidemiological study examines completed suicides among the Apache, Navajo and Pueblo Indians of New Mexico from 1957 through 1979. Death certificates constitute the primary source of data. A number of demographic and situational variables are examined for the cultural groups and similarities and differences are noted. Significant findings include a high male to female ratio ranging from 7.4:1 to 10.4:1; an age range of 10-39…
Demographic and epidemiologic transition among the Navajo Indians
The theories of demographic transition and epidemiologic transition provide vehicles for the examination of Navajo fertility, mortality, and growth patterns. The Navajo population is found to be growing rapidly due to decreased mortality and fertility rates which have declined but remain twice as high as U.S. rates. Infectious diseases are now less important as a factor in mortality, but remain a problem larger than that in the overall United Sta…

Indian Adolescent Suicide
Epidemiology of fetal alcohol syndrome among American Indians of the southwest
The epidemiological features of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) were examined among American Indians in the southwestern United States. All FAS suspects were screened in specific populations of Navajo, Pueblo, and Plains culture tribes. A total of 115 alcohol‐affected children were identified. The incidence of FAS was found to be highly variable from one cultural group to the next, ranging from 1.3 per 1,000 births (1/749) for the Navajo to 10.3 (1/…
Arrests, Alcohol, and Alcohol Legalization Among an American Indian Tribe
In the entire history of the contact between American Indians and Western culture, alcohol has been a source of friction and controversy. This paper attempts to define the contemporary and historical relationship between alcohol, arrests and the Indians of a large tribe on the Great Plains. The situation on and off the Reservation is explored during periods of prohibition and also during one short legalization period. Some questions are raised re…
Contemporary Crime and the American Indian
The literature on American Indian crime is a small, but diverse lot. In this paper studies of contemporary Indian crime and criminal justice are reviewed andc analyzed. Each study is presented according to its major thrust, description, or inference. In addition, the studies are described regarding the specific methods used and significant findings. Eight principal themes of explanation found in this literature are named and described. They are: …
Adolescent suicide at an Indian reservation
The backgrounds of ten American Indians who committed suicide before the age of twenty-five are compared statistically with a matched control group from the same tribe. The contrast is significant in at least six variables that point to the greater individual and familial disruption experienced by the suicidal youths. Suggestions for treatment and prevention based on the experience of this tribe are offered

Explanations of Native American Drinking
In behavioral science literature, the drinking patterns of some Native Americans have received considerable attention. Because the modal Indian drinking style has been viewed and characterized as different from the patterns of most other groups in the United States, numerous works have attempted to explain this divergence. In this paper the most common explanations of Indian drinking behavior are described and reviewed: biological, psychoanalytic…
Indian and White
A well-done and interesting study which focuses on a variety of questions that are usually ignored when white researchers attempt to describe Amerindians.--Gerd Schroeter, The Journal of Ethnic Studies. (Anthropology)
A Navajo Health Consumer Survey
The findings of a health consumer survey of 309 Navajo families in three areas of the Navajo Reservation are reported. The survey shows that access to facilities and lack of safe water and sanitary supplies are continuing problems for these families. The families show consistent use of Indian Health Service providers, particularly nurses, pharmacists and physicians, as well as traditional Navajo medicine practitioners. Only incidental utilization…
