Through these models, you can access different sections of an individuals' interview based on coded analysis. Please note: These interviews should be viewed as a whole because there is some danger in taking sections out of context. The uncoded version of these interviews can be viewed through the Map of Alaska or the Interviews buttons.

PATHWAY TO SOBRIETY MODEL FOR ALASKAN NATIVES:
Image of the Pathway to Sobriety Model

KEY:

CC (Community Characteristics, Nunamta Ayuqucia) includes the way that the community organizes family, school, and community activity, and enforces alcohol policy and the drinking status of the community.

FC (Family Characteristics, Ilamta) includes family functioning in such areas as cohesion, conflict, recreation outlets, moral-spiritual focus, and home organization. A significant relationship is a central part of family environment. It is defined as a close relationship with at least one parent prior to adolescence. The parent values the child and provides positive valuation, social support, safety and protection, teaches good values, models sobriety and the importance of giving to others.

IC (Individual Characteristics, Yuum Ayuquciat) are communal and personal self-efficacy and Ellangeq, Yup'ik mindfulness and awareness, the ability to see connections between one's behavior and its consequences past, present and future.

SE (Social Environment, Yuut Ayuquciat) includes role models and social support from extended family, peers, and other adults outside of immediate, nuclear family.

TR (Trauma and/or Trauma Exposure, Picurlalleq) includes sexual abuse, domestic violence, and death of loved ones. It includes being a victim and/or observing others being a victim. An individual's perception of trauma is critical, as is the meaning they attach to their experience and how they respond to it.

ESU (Experimental Substance Use, Meqerraaryaurtneq) is early substance use in adolescence prior to commitment to continued use, abuse, and dependence.

TO (Thinking It Over, Umyuangneq) involves reflecting on one's experience and developing a personal life narrative.

TP (Turning Point, Meyuirutneq) comes out of this reflective process and leads to a decision about how the person will use alcohol.

EWS (Experimenting With Sobriety)

STI (Stage One Sobriety) Abstention and active coping

STII (Stage Two Sobriety) "Life is meant to be lived"

Non-problem Alcohol Use

Lifetime Abstinence

R-S (Religion - Spirituality)
