Monograph 1: (1988)
Behavioral Health Issues Among American Indians and Alaska Natives: Explorations on the Frontiers of the Biobehavioral Sciences
This monograph, edited by Spero M. Manson and Norman G. Dinges, reviews the National Academy of Science's Institute of Medicine publication titled, Health and Behavior: Frontiers of Research in the Biobehavioral Sciences, as it applies to American Indians and Alaska Natives. The monograph offers comprehensive recommendations concerning the direction of future mental health research, with special emphasis on American Indians and Alaska Natives.
A conference at Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood, Oregon, in April of 1985 was convened to address the issues and concerns raised by the Health and Behavior volume. The monograph reports the results and findings of twenty nationally recognized experts on the American Indian and Alaska Native population. It contains nine chapters, ranging in coverage from children to older adults, cross cut by numerous substantive themes. This is part of the first volume of The Journal of the National Center for American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research.

The People Who Give More: Health and Mental Health Among the Contemporary Puyallup Indian Tribal Community
  George M. Guilmet, Ph.D. and David L. Whited, M.F.A.
This monograph is a contemporary ethnographic analysis of the Puyallup Indian Tribal urban health care system (with a particular emphasis on mental health issues), and an attempt to place this system in ethnohistorical perspective. The research reported herein is concerned with the broader issue of appropriate ways to introduce new technology in cross-cultural contexts. The nature of the good with respect to the introduction of technology is not always clear, nor are the motivations of the culture brokers and other participants in culture change. This is part of the second volume of The Journal of the National Center for American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research.

Mental Health Programs for American Indians: Their Logic, Structure, & Function
  Gordon Neligh, M.D.
This monograph is organized around an argument relating to the organization and prioritization of health care services. It is divided into four major sections. The first section contains a definition and discussion of the major mental illnesses found in Indian country. The second explores the cost of these illnesses for Indian people in terms of death and disability, and considers the planning of a service delivery system to treat or prevent such problems. The third outlines logical goals for the development and structure of local mental health programs based on present understanding of current mental health problems and treatments available for Indian people. Finally, the fourth section discusses types of resources that mental health programs can draw upon in developing needed interventions. This is part of the third volume of The Journal of the National Center for American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research.

Calling From the Rim: Suicidal Behavior Among American Indian and Alaska Native Adolescents
  Christine Wilson Duclos, M.P.H., and Spero M. Manson, Ph.D.

This monograph contains the proceedings of a National Institute of Mental Health-funded research conference addressing suicidal behavior among American Indian and Alaska Native adolescents. This meeting convened nationally recognized experts who are working on a variety of projects that relate directly to the identification of risk factors for and prevention of suicide among adolescents in general, and among Indian and Native communities specifically. The meeting was cosponsored by the American Indian Child Committee of the American Academy of Child Psychiatry and the Indian Health Service's Office of Mental Health Programs. Eleven major overview and position papers presented at the conference as well as portions of edited meeting discussions constitute the major elements of this monograph. Topics include epidemiological issues, clinical and developmental considerations, federal and state experience, current programmatic efforts, and influential aspects of special institutional settings such as boarding schools and detention environments.
This monograph contains a comprehensive review of relevant research knowledge of adolescent suicidal behavior of American Indians and Alaska Natives, the identification of gaps in this current knowledge base, promising new areas of study, and an outline of the recommendations and priorities such research should follow. This conference was a unique opportunity to summarize the state of suicidal behavior research in the context of this special population.

New Directions in Prevention
Among American Indian and Alaska Native Communities
(1982)

This monograph, edited by Spero M. Manson, reports the proceedings of a special conference with contributions by authors who work in a diverse array

of institutional settings. The state of prevention is considered with respect to five areas: research, training, services, program evaluation, and recommendations for prevention research planning. According to Dr. Stephen Goldston, former Director, Office of Prevention, National Institute of Mental Health, "the papers in this monograph and the accompanying discussion sections, as well as the recommendations, offer a comprehensive agenda for prevention research directed to American Indian and Alaska native populations, as well as new, thoughtful approaches for research efforts directed to other special populations. The rapidly accumulating prevention research knowledge base is significantly enriched by the material contained in this monograph."

Volume 1; Issue 3 - This issue focuses on one of the most pressing concerns today in Indian and Native communities: adolescent suicide. It presents a new and diverse set of reports that add to our insights concerning risks, associated socioeconomic and health factors, and patterns of completed and attempted suicides. The chapters emphasize prevention strategies, provide examples of public health approaches on individual reservations and throughout the Indian Health Service, and analyze patterns of suicide, and suicide attempts from the points of view of health providers, administrators, researchers, and program developers.
Volume 2; Issue 3 - This issue is a forum characterized by a principal article followed by critiques from the field, and closed with a rejoinder. It deals with the controversial Barrow Alcohol Study, which took place more than a decade ago. Dr. Edward Foulks provides a sensitive and detailed account of his view of this controversy, emphasizing some of the problems that ensued. Many leading scholars in the Indian/Native mental health field offer their reactions and perspectives on the study's ethical and procedural aspects. Although there are some who would prefer that it remain buried, this issue serves as a valuable reminder of these tensions and encourages us to continue to struggle against the commission of similar errors.
Volume 4; Issue 3 - In this issue, Dr. Phillip May presents to Indian reservations and bordertown communities a comprehensive, consistent and clearly defined alcohol prevention/intervention policy. It follows a systematic, public health approach that considers the physical, mental, and social well being of every individual within the region. This issue addresses all types of problematic alcohol consumption--from sporadic to regular, alcohol abuse and chronic alcoholism. It presents a variety of options for addressing alcohol problems that have been found to be of value in the control and reduction of alcohol abuse and related problems. Many figures from the field comment on and debate these issues, resulting in a highly readable and practical sourcebook.
