Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To contextualise and provide an overview of two review papers--prepared as part of a larger research program--dealing with different aspects of the treatment of Indigenous Australians with alcohol-related problems. METHOD:The papers were reviewed thematically and compared to identify key issues raised in them. FINDINGS:Together, the papers highlight the paucity of the evidence base for the provision of treatment for Indigenous Australians with alcohol-related problems. Among the key issues identified are: the need to engage with clients in culturally safe ways; practitioner, organisational and client barriers to engagement; the contexts in which Indigenous drinking and treatment take place; the need to develop rigorous methods of evaluation more appropriate to Indigenous cultural and service provision settings; and the importance of effective partnerships in the provision of services. CONCLUSION:For those working in the field, the reviews direct attention to the need to review and interrogate our current practice. They also provide clear directions for future research.
