# data[].attributes.body
The high rates of alcohol and substance abuse, mental health disorders, suicide, violence, and behavior-related chronic diseases in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities are well documented. Each of these serious behavioral health issues has a profound impact on the health of individuals, families, and communities. For example, AI/AN communities are significantly more likely to report past-year alcohol and substance use disorders than any other race. Suicide rates for AI/AN people are 1.6 times higher than the U.S. all-races rate ] Domestic violence rates are also alarming, as AI/AN women are reported as having among the highest rates of sexual assault and intimate partner violence victimization.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The Indian Health Service (IHS), an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, is responsible for providing federal health services to American Indians and Alaska Natives. The provision of health services to members of federally-recognized Tribes grew out of the special government-to-government relationship between the federal government and Indian Tribes.
