Healthy Tribal Nations: Identifying Effective Alcohol Policies for American Indian Tribes

Juliet Lee, PhD
Myra Parker, PhD, JD, MPH, U Washington

A partnership with Seven Directions, a Center for Indigenous Public Health

This Tribal Community-Engaged project assess the differential relationships of state and Tribal alcohol policies to alcohol-related health risks for residents of American Indian reservations. This study will support spatial and legal epidemiological research that will:
(1) summarize Tribal alcohol policies across 55 Tribal Nations collocated in 12 US states,
(2) perform qualitative and quantitative studies of the local contexts and enforcement implementation of alcohol policies across these 55 Tribal Nations,
(3) assess relationships of state and Tribal alcohol policies to alcohol-related health and safety outcomes using hospital discharge and traffic injury data, and

(4) develop best practice guidance on alcohol regulation to Tribal leaders

Please visit Healthy Tribal Nations for more information.
