Analysis of data for 12 areas of the Indian Health Services from the US Department of Health and Human Services yielded a rho of .61 between poverty and suicide for men and a significant rho of .65 for poverty with homicide rates. The Navajo area is an exception, raising for study questions about social disintegration. For the women, poverty was not significantly related to suicide or homicide rates, raising additional questions about social disintegration.

To the Editor.— Whenever discussion of the destructive psychosocial effects of chemical dependency emerges among medical professionals, a controversy invariably follows. Too often, discussion turns into debate, anger overcomes reason, and strong feelings are judged to be too emotional. A sad commentary about the majority of our profession is the abrogation of responsibility, leaving the major concern in the field of alcohol/drug abuse to the care of other health professionals.1-5 For those who require documentation of the belief, which I fully share, that chemical dependency can be successfully prevented and treated, I refer them to the recent "breakthrough" article by MacDonald6 as well as publications of the US Department of Health and Human Services.7,8

In Reply.— I am concerned that the Academy's position on treatment decisions regarding seriously ill newborns may have been construed to be one in alliance with the government's hard-line stand on interventionism and insistence upon treatment. It has always been our position that neither the government nor the courts should interfere in decisions best made by parents in consultation with medical professionals. The Academy is as committed to this concept today as it was when it first challenged the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and successfully struck down the first "Baby Doe" rule which ignored the role of parents in this critical decision-making arena.
