Analysis and Gene/Environment Interactions (a 1 Tribe Study)''

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and 
Alcoholism (NIAA), National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to

for additional information about this data collection activity, no 
public comments were received. The purpose of this notice is to allow

extended, revised, or implemented on or after June 30, 1999, unless it 
displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Alcoholism Prevalence: Transmission Analysis, Linkage Analysis and 
Gene/Environment Interactions (a 1 tribe study)'. Type of Information 
Collection request: NEW. Need and Use of Information Collection: The 
information proposed for collection in this study will be used by the 
NIAAA to define the prevalence in alcoholism and associated problems in 
tribes in which the rates of alcoholism have been reported to be widely 
divergent. Additional information will be collected on severe trauma 
and stress, alcohol availability and socioeconomic factors to identify 
how these variables interact with hereditary factors in the development 
of alcoholism and related problems.

of Respondents: Native American adults. Estimated Number of 
Respondents: 300. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
