A1 - Knull, H. SP - 388 EP - 389 VL - 48 IS - 4 N2 - A preliminary investigation of the ingestion of commercial products containing alcohol among Native Americans in the United States is described. A survey of Indian Health Service Clinic physicians found 1121 persons to be abusing these products. The products most frequently ingested were hair spray and spray disinfectants. The abuse of these products, nicknamed "Montana Gin," has been found in 14 states. Very little is known about the effects of ingestion of these products and further research is needed.
