title: A survey of vocational rehabilitation counselors concerning American Indian and Alaska Native clients with alcohol and other drug abuse disorders.
abstract: Vocation rehabilitation (VR) counselors in states where many American Indians reside were questioned about the characteristics of their American Indian clients with alcoholism or drug abuse problems, and the kinds of services that were provided to them. A total of 124 counselors from 14 states responded to the survey. Twenty-seven of these respondents were employed in tribally operated VR projects in nine states.
