The high prevalence of alcohol use and its consequences among American Indians may be attributed to a number of factors, including the influence of the European colonists who first made large amounts of alcohol available to Indians, as well as current social and cultural factors. Efforts to prevent and treat alcohol problems among the American Indian population may be more effective if native beliefs and approaches are incorporated. Alcohol problems also may be prevented through policies regulating the sale and use of alcohol in Indian communities.
美国印第安人中酒精使用及其后果的高流行率可能归因于多种因素，包括最早向印第安人大量供应酒精的欧洲殖民者的影响，以及当前的社会和文化因素。如果纳入本土信仰和方法，针对美国印第安人群体预防和治疗酒精问题的努力可能会更有效。酒精问题也可以通过规范印第安社区酒精销售和使用的政策来预防。
