Native American (NA) veterans have rarely been the focus of investigational efforts. We review studies relevant to an assessment of NA substance-use disorders, and discuss findings of the Drug Abuse Treatment Services Evaluation Project pertaining specifically to NA veterans. A larger proportion of NA veterans discharged from VA inpatient care in FY93 were diagnosed with a substance-use disorder compared to the total population of veterans discharged that year. Substance-dependent NAs were more likely to be diagnosed with alcohol-use disorders and posttraumatic stress disorder, and less likely to be diagnosed with drug-use disorders and other psychiatric disorders than substance-dependent veterans generally.
美国原住民（NA）退伍军人很少成为研究工作的重点。我们回顾了与评估美国原住民物质使用障碍相关的研究，并讨论了药物滥用治疗服务评估项目中专门针对美国原住民退伍军人的研究结果。与1993财年退伍军人的总出院人数相比，从退伍军人事务部（VA）住院治疗中出院的美国原住民退伍军人中，被诊断患有物质使用障碍的比例更高。与一般的物质依赖退伍军人相比，物质依赖的美国原住民更有可能被诊断患有酒精使用障碍和创伤后应激障碍，而被诊断患有药物使用障碍和其他精神障碍的可能性较小。
