This special issue of The American Journal on Addictions is an extension of a workshop held at the Research Society on Alcoholism (2015) highlighting several important issues related to studies of the genetic bases of alcohol use disorder among racially/ethnically diverse populations. While not exhaustive in their coverage, the papers in this special issue focus on three important topics: (1) the importance of considering the social and environmental context in genetic analyses; (2) social and cultural considerations for engaging diverse communities in genetic research; and (3) methodologies related to phenotype development for use with racially/ethnically diverse populations. A brief overview of each paper included in these three sections is presented. The issue concludes with additional considerations for genetic research with racially/ethnically diverse population groups along with a commentary. (Am J Addict 2017;26:422-423).
《美国成瘾杂志》的这一特刊是在酒精研究学会（2015年）举办的一次研讨会的延伸，该研讨会重点讨论了与不同种族/族裔人群酒精使用障碍遗传基础研究相关的几个重要问题。尽管本特刊的论文并未涵盖所有方面，但它们聚焦于三个重要主题：（1）在基因分析中考虑社会和环境背景的重要性；（2）让不同社区参与基因研究的社会和文化考量；（3）与不同种族/族裔人群表型发展相关的方法。以下将对这三个部分中包含的每篇论文进行简要概述。本期最后还对不同种族/族裔人群的基因研究进行了更多思考，并附有一篇评论。（《美国成瘾杂志》2017年；26：422 - 423）
