XXXX in the family. A multicultural exploration.

@entity167 @entity1 @entity988
The initial focus is on defining race, culture, and ethnicity, followed by a review of the extent of @entity167 and @entity167 use consequences among African-Americans and Native Americans. Cultural specificity in an historical context is provided. A brief overview of gaps in the incident and prevalence data is presented. The biosociocultural context of drinking among African-American @entity1 with specific emphasis on cultural disruption, socialization, and social class is explored. A triracial @entity1 @entity1 (African-American/Native American/German-Irish-American), whose family genogram documents, by the case study method, six generations back to slavery, is presented. The @entity167 use patterns within this family are somewhat illustrative of historical patterns and of racial and ethnic import. An absence of religiosity/spirituality is noted. The family genogram is followed by a discussion of the limitations of the case study method of family genograms. The final section relates the findings of the family genogram back to the extant data and the gaps in the collection of data regarding the epidemiology of @entity988 across groups. It highlights the recent findings and questions raised by those findings from cross-cultural and racial studies of @entity988 among @entity1 of color.
