Excessive consumption of alcohol is a worldwide health and social problem that manifested in the local tribal communities. The purpose of this study was to describe the attitudes of those on the Blackfeet Reservation concerning an alcohol control policy for the Reservation. The survey results from a stratified sample of 400 participants revealed strong support for an alcohol control policy for the Blackfeet Reservation. Factor analysis of the survey instrument demonstrated that clarity and validity can be provided for an instrument that is generated from specific perceived community interests rather than from a general literature search. Discriminant analysis was used to describe the differences between those who supported and those who opposed an alcohol control policy for the reservation. Cluster analysis was used to explore for naturally-occurring groups based on the 400 responses to the 26 items in the survey. Finally, conclusions were drawn based on the survey results for making recommendations to policy makers concerning an alcohol control policy for the reservation. (Contains 11 tables and 2 figures.)
