TY - JOUR PY - 1983// TI - Alcohol and alcoholism in Alaska: research in a multicultural and transitional society JO - International journal of the addictions A1 - Segal, B. SP - 379 EP - 392 VL - 18 IS - 3 N2 - Working and living in Alaska, where social and cultural transitions are taking place, allows one the opportunity to reflect on the methods and procedures involved in one's discipline and/or research orientation. This article thus provides a review of what is happening in Alaska with respect to alcohol use by Alaska Natives and reflects on the issues involved when traditional cross-cultural research procedures are followed. Questions are also raised concerning what the focus of research might be, and suggestions for more culturally relevant research are advanced.
