Abstract
Cultural influences on psychological and physical health were examined in a sample of Russian schoolchildren in Novosibirsk. To evaluate the children's behaviour the translated short form of the Child Behaviour Checklist was given out to mothers. A School Adjustment Scale and the Rutter Teacher Questionnaire were completed by teachers and one total score was derived from the Rutter Health Questionnaire for children. Children from disturbed families had worse school adjustment and more behavioural problems. Acute respiratory diseases were more frequent in children from large families, while the mother's education level was a protective factor. Academic attainment was positively related to parents' education, CBCL Somatic Complaints and the occurrence of psychosomatic and inflammatory diseases, and negatively related to Externalising Problems. The CBCL Somatic complaints score was the key variable in the prediction of most physical health variables. Overall, the findings show the significance of academic attainment for a child's physical and psychological health. Low academic attainment tends to be connected with Externalising Problems, while higher attainment could be connected with somatisation and physical illness.

Abstract
Several forms of culture-bound mental disorders and their shamanic treatment among the Tatars of North Siberia were studied: kizil kootalak--possession by the Spirit of Fertility; orak--moving in of the Spirit of Suicides; oolamchak--the disorder of the natural exchange between the inner and the outer Spirits that induces depression with lethal exit. The shamanic treatment included specific rituals where the shaman receives the support of helper Spirits and the Spirit of the Great Shaman. Misunderstandings concerning terms and concepts of culture-bound states are analysed.

Abstract
Despite a growing literature on social support processes across the life-span, few studies have examined support perceptions in societies undergoing rapid social transition. This study reports data on age, support and mental health from 2672 participants in four former Soviet nations. Results suggest a small but significant decline in overall support across age (r = -.12), with this slope significantly influenced by nationality and gender. Mental health also declines with age (r = -.15), with tangible support having the greatest mediational effect on the age-mental health relationship. These findings are discussed in the light of the continuing economic and social strains influencing the inhabitants of this region.

Abstract
Native people of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) live mostly in northern regions in the so-called "national settlements". Natives usually experience more health-related problems as compared to the total population. As a result, life expectancy at the birth of Natives living in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is lower compared to ethnic groups living in European countries, in the United States, and in Canada.
To determine the prevalence of diseases among Natives living in Yakutia and to compare the standards of living for Dolgans living in the Anabarsky region and Evenks living in Gigansky and Ust-Maysky regions.
The study was designed as a population-based, cross-sectional examination with the addition of a cross-sectional survey for Dolgans and Evenks. Data were obtained from 324 Evenks, 43 Evens, 230 Dolgans, and 216 people of other ethnic groups, aged 17-86. In the additional cross-sectional survey, 155 Dolgans and 292 Evenks were included.
Among Natives, the most prevalent diseases are digestive diseases (67.9 cases per 100 examined), diseases of the genitourinary system (45.3 per 100 examined), circulatory system diseases (44.4 per 100 examined), diseases of the respiratory system (36.9 cases per 100 examined) and diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (28.4 cases per 100 examined). There are differences in the prevalence among Natives living in different regions. Anabarsky region has the lowest disease burden and Dolgans inhabiting this region have higher standards of living than Evenks living in Gigansky and Ust-Maysky regions.
The prevalence of diseases among the Natives, living in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), is very high. Differences in raw prevalence rate between Native ethnic groups were found, but it is unknown whether these differences can be assigned rather to the difference in standards of living in the inhabited locality than to ethnicity itself.

Abstract
The prevalence of smoking is very high and growing in Siberia. Three population surveys carried out by the Institute of Internal medicine within the framework of the MONICA project (WHO) during 1988-1995 revealed that 59% of the men and 11% of the women aged 25-64 are smokers (2). The number of smokers among children is also growing: 21% of girls and 40% of boys aged 14-17 are smokers (1). Tobacco product advertising is widespread in the city. Cheap cigarettes of bad quality are easily available for the population. The economic situation in the region makes it difficult for people to pay for specialised treatment. That is why new methods of smoking prevention should be found. The main components of our work are: involving local decision-makers in the activity, educating the population, work with mass media, epidemiological studies, international Quit & Win campaigns.

Abstract
The characteristics of alcohol-induced flushing response were studied in some Siberian Native populations (Chukchi, Eskimo, Jakuts, Udege, and Nanaian). Flushing peculiarities were estimated and the interrelationship with drinking patterns, the ethanol patch test (EPT), and somatic disorders were analyzed. Frequency of flushing response varied from 9.0% to 66.7%, and was more often apparent among females. Only the Nanaian demonstrated typical flushing, which did not allow them to consume high doses of alcohol. In the rest of the populations flushing was "atypical," i.e., appearing sometimes after high doses of alcohol but not interrupting alcohol drinking, and not associated with a positive EPT. Direct genotyping in DNA samples of Chukotka Natives did not reveal atypical allele aldehyde dehydrogenase (AIDH 2/2). Frequencies of alcohol problems, alcohol dependence symptoms, and somatic disorders (arterial hypertension, silent ischemia, diffuse liver lesions, and noncalculous cholecystitis) were higher among atypical flushers compared to nonflushers (p

Abstract
Arctic climate change is already having a significant impact on the environment, economic activity, and public health. For the northern peoples, traditions and cultural identity are closely related to the natural environment so any change will have consequences for society in several ways.
A questionnaire was given to the population on the Vaigach island, the Nenets who rely to a large degree on hunting, fishing and reindeer herding for survival. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted about perception of climate change.
Climate change is observed and has already had an impact on daily life according to more than 50% of the respondents. The winter season is now colder and longer and the summer season colder and shorter. A decrease in standard of living was noticeable but few were planning to leave.
Climate change has been noticed in the region and it has a negative impact on the standard of living for the Nenets. However, as of yet they do not want to leave as cultural identity is important for their overall well-being.

Abstract
This study investigated predictors of alcohol consumption among drug users not currently in treatment in Anchorage, Alaska. Data were collected from 114 female and 269 male drug users via structured interviews. Alcohol consumption was defined as estimated number of drinks consumed in the last 30 days. Results revealed a high proportion consuming alcohol within the last 48 hours and 30 days (73% and 96%, respectively). Stepwise multiple regression revealed that five variables, accounting for 9% of the variance, were significantly related to alcohol consumption. Positively related were greater perceived risk of getting AIDS; obtaining income from spouse, family, or friend; living on the streets or in a shelter; or living in a hotel or boarding house. Negatively related was having an education level greater than high school. For those participants who reported having sex during the last 30 days, two variables were positively related to alcohol consumption and accounted for 17% of the variance: numberof times used alcohol with sex and frequency of sex without a condom. In addition to identifying several demographic variables that are significantly related to alcohol consumption, the results document the relationship between alcohol consumption and unsafe sexual practices.

Abstract
In the first part of the study the prevalence and incidence of diagnosed Type 2 diabetes among adult rural populations of southern, central and northern areas of the Krasnoyarsk region of Siberia is compared. The six-year mean incidence of diabetes in the southern area was 0.86 per 1000 (95% CI: 0.66-1.06), in the central area this incidence was 0.79 (0.57-1.01). In contrast, in the northern area the mean Type 2 incidence among indigenous population was 0.16 per 1000 (0-0.43) and among aliens it was 0.38 (0.22-0.54). The age-standardised Type 2 diabetes prevalence in the population of southern and central areas were 10.23 (9.55-10.-92) and 10.77 (9.99-11.55), respectively. In the northern area among aliens it was 8.98 (8.18-9.78) and among indigenous peoples only 2.54 per 1000 (1.46-3.62). The second part of this study consists of a population based survey to determine the prevalence rate of Type 2 diabetes among 596 Evenks and 306 alien inhabitants in Evenkia (82% eligible participants of Baikit district). No cases of glucose intolerance were found among Evenks in this study and one case of Type 2 diabetes was confirmed among aliens (prevalence rate 3.27 per 1000). These data indicate that Type 2 diabetes is still rare among northern indigenous populations of Siberia and that diabetes in northern alien populations is less prevalent than among peoples of central and southern areas of Siberia.
