abstract="A social indicator system was used to assess alcohol-related problems among American Indian people in Minnesota. Instead of counting &quot;cases,&quot; the method involved using &quot;events&quot; that were recorded by various social institutions in the course of their work. The system showed that Indian people commonly encountered alcohol-related &quot;events&quot; that led to death or to social institutions with a poor record of problem resolution (foster homes, jail, prison, welfare agencies). However, they infrequently appeared in psychiatric facilities with alcohol-related &quot;events.&quot;<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
