Since 1993, 14 American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) communities have worked diligently to reduce the harm due to substance abuse in their communities. Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Healthy Nations Initiative I, these communities implemented creative strategies that span the continuum from community-wide prevention, early identification and treatment to aftercare. Drawing upon the unique strengths of their own cultural traditions to find solutions to local substance abuse problems, these efforts have identified important and useful lessons for not only other AIAN communities, but also for sponsors of substance abuse programming in Indian country and elsewhere. Described here are successful strategies for developing and sustaining substance abuse programs in AIAN communities and an assessment of their impacts and accomplishments.
自1993年以来，14个美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AIAN）社区一直在努力减少社区内药物滥用造成的危害。在罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会的健康国家倡议I的资助下，这些社区实施了一系列富有创意的策略，涵盖了从全社区预防、早期识别与治疗到后续护理的整个连续过程。这些社区利用自身文化传统的独特优势来寻找解决当地药物滥用问题的办法，这些努力不仅为其他AIAN社区，也为印第安地区及其他地方的药物滥用项目赞助商提供了重要且有用的经验教训。这里描述的是在AIAN社区开发和维持药物滥用项目的成功策略及其影响和成就评估。
