This article reviews recent research on alcohol use and alcohol problems among Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, and American Indians. Strengths and weaknesses of conventional research methods and lacunae in current information are examined. To date, no studies have systematically documented variations in drinking styles and factors that promote or maintain alcohol abuse. Each minority group is heterogeneous in its drinking patterns; drinking problems; and psychological, medical, and social consequences of alcohol abuse. Collectively, these factors have important implications for evaluating programs to treat minority persons. The author suggests that future research adopt multidisciplinary approaches to more fully characterize ethnopharmacological profiles of alcohol use and abuse among these ethnic minorities.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
