A comprehensive review of all studies published in the professional literature (mainly in Hebrew), as well as in reports and theses in Hebrew, is presented. This is an attempt to correct the lack of information among English readers about alcohol use patterns and problems in the Russian immigrant community in Israel. This paper is the first summary of findings in the alcohol use domain\u2014epidemiology, treatment, and homelessness in relation to FSU immigrants in Israel. The review identifies alcohol use among recent FSU immigrants as more prevalent than among the Jewish-Israeli\u2013absorbing society, and shows that FSU immigrants are overrepresented in treatment, and that most of the homeless persons in Israel are FSU immigrants and alcoholics. The paper also describes findings from other FSU immigrant studies in related fields such as genetics, workplace issues, pregnancy, emergency rooms and driving. Recommendations for future activities include the need for special analysis and focus on the FSU immigrants in national studies, as well as further investigations about cultural effects on FSU immigrants\u2019 drinking habits.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/08897070802418444","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,31]],"date-time":"2008-12-31T01:38:51Z","timestamp":1230687531000},"page":"5-17","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Review: Alcohol Use and Problems among Immigrants from the Former Soviet Union in Israel"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Shoshana","family":"Weiss","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Alcohol Research Unit, Karmiel, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-08897070802418444","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(06)68015-X"},{"key":"bibr2-08897070802418444","first-page":"203","volume-title":"Alcohol and Emerging Markets","author":"Vroublevsky A","year":"1998"},{"key":"bibr3-08897070802418444","volume-title":"World Drink Trends","author":"Verhoek J","year":"1995"},{"key":"bibr7-08897070802418444","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1360-0443.1994.tb00903.x"},{"key":"bibr9-08897070802418444","first-page":"207","volume-title":"EU\u2014Concerted Action: Gender, Culture and Alcohol Problems\u2014A Multi-National Study","author":"Rahav G","year":"2005"},{"key":"bibr10-08897070802418444","first-page":"24","volume":"9","author":"Swirski B","year":"1998","journal-title":"The Israel Equality Monitor of Adva Center"},{"key":"bibr12-08897070802418444","first-page":"96","volume":"40","author":"Amit Z","year":"2003","journal-title":"Israel J Psychiatry Relat Sci"},{"key":"bibr13-08897070802418444","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000073723"},{"key":"bibr14-08897070802418444","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02791072.2002.10399941"},{"key":"bibr15-08897070802418444","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1300\/J160v02n03_08"},{"key":"bibr16-08897070802418444","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3200\/SOCP.144.2.222"},{"key":"bibr20-08897070802418444","unstructured":"Rahav G, and Teichman M 1998 Drinking and Acculturation of Immigrants from the Former Soviet Union.
