酒精使用障碍（AUD）和自杀的后果在阿拉斯加原住民中造成了巨大的健康差异。人民觉醒项目是阿拉斯加土著社区和大学研究人员之间的长期合作，旨在通过制定积极的解决方案来促进健康公平。这些努力启动了一种研究关系，确定了AUD和自杀的个人、家庭和社区保护因素。一位合作研究人员接下来表示有兴趣将这些发现转化为干预措施。这导致了基于实力的社区干预的发展，这是特刊的重点。干预措施建立了这些保护因素，以防止青少年及其家庭和社区内的AUD和自杀风险。这篇评论提供了一个批判性的检查现有的文献和简短的历史工作导致干预研究。这些工作体现了大学研究人员和社区成员共同致力于共同研究，并按照当地Yup'ik文化价值观开展雅阁。这一必要性使团队能够驾驭我们在AN部落社区固有的历史和当代生态背景因素与西方科学施加的抵消约束的融合中所处的几种紧张局势。
The consequences of alcohol use disorder (AUD) and suicide create immense health disparities among Alaska Native people. The People Awakening project is a long-term collaboration between Alaska Native (AN) communities and university researchers seeking to foster health equity through development of positive solutions to these disparities. These efforts initiated a research relationship that identified individual, family, and community protective factors from AUD and suicide. AN co-researchers next expressed interest in translating these findings into intervention. This led to development of a strengths-based community intervention that is the focus of the special issue. The intervention builds these protective factors to prevent AUD and suicide risk within AN youth, and their families and communities. This review provides a critical examination of existing literature and a brief history of work leading to the intervention research. These work efforts portray a shared commitment of university researchers and community members to function as co-researchers, and to conduct research in accord with local Yup'ik cultural values. This imperative allowed the team to navigate several tensions we locate in a convergence of historical and contemporary ecological contextual factors inherent in AN tribal communities with countervailing constraints imposed by Western science.
