title: Alaska/Russian Far East behavioral health projects: a progress report on recent activities.
abstract: A number of "behavioral health" exchange activities between Alaska and the Russian Far East took place during 1992-93. These included visits by a psychiatrist running one of the first "private polyclinics" in Magadan and by a narcologist to discuss the latest developments in alcohol services; a Behavioral Health Conference where Native health workers from Russia and Alaska shared experiences; beginning a multi-year epidemiology project; and a project to assess needs for a fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) prevention program in Magadan.
