“…In this regard, Mantente REAL is a manualized teacher and students program with video support materials for illustrating each strategy, and the sessions were a mixture of writing and oral activities. Previous research has pointed to the beneficial effects of using peer-created videos to communicate with youth in substance use prevention (Holleran et al, 2002;Reeves et al, 2008;Warren et al, 2006). The collaborative and participative perspective of Mantente REAL offers adolescents opportunities for introspection, expression, discussion, and questioning of risks experienced in their daily lives, identifying effective ways to respond to them through the REAL strategies.…”

Mantente REAL is a school-based universal program to prevent drug use and other problematic behaviors specifically designed to be implemented in schools at the beginning of adolescence. This program, which is a culturally adapted version of the Keepin' it REAL intervention, focuses on skills training for resisting social pressure to use drugs and improving psychosocial development. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Mantente REAL on alcohol use in the Spanish context. The sample was composed of 755 adolescents from 12 state secondary schools in Spain, aged 11 to 15 (M = 12.24, SD = 0.56), 47.1% females. The 12 schools were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups, six to each condition. Pre-test and post-test questionnaires data were collected to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The results indicated that a culturally adapted version of Mantente REAL was effective in preventing alcohol use among youth from northern and southern Spain. Students participating in the program demonstrated changes in the desired direction on alcohol frequency and intoxication episodes. Implications of these results regarding intervention programs aimed at preventing substance use in adolescence are discussed.

“…Students faced with conflicting views of learning and classroom performance disengage from process and content (Okamoto et al, 2006). In the face of these conflicting expectations, students do not see themselves in the prevention messages and, therefore, do not adopt them as part of their behavioral repertoire (Reeves, Dustman, Holleran, & Marsiglia, 2008). …”

“…Participants understand that researchers may be experts within academic cultures, but, when it comes to their own neighborhoods and communities, they possess a greater understanding of interactions and expectations, especially within understudied populations. Those undertaking collaborative research efforts should recognize that both researchers and community partners will struggle with changes in expert-to-novice role perceptions, especially as participant experts emerge and become more involved in project ownership (Reeves et al, 2008). Data from participants prompted the research team to develop and utilize existing methods in new ways (Harthun et al, 2009).…”

“…For example, a surface-level approach that uses features such as names, foods, and family patterns that are considered representative of the ethnic group in question to appear more culturally recognizable may, in fact, contribute to stereotyping because the program itself is not grounded in the deep-structure elements of participants’ cultures (Reeves et al, 2008). Instead, the team adopted a structural design based on an understanding of social, environmental, psychological, and historical influences.…”

American Indian Cultures: How CBPR Illuminated Intertribal Cultural Elements Fundamental to an Adaptation Effort

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The ever-increasing numbers of ethnic minority populations in the United States seeking social services suggests that a “multicultural paradigm shift” is underway and gaining speed. This shift will increasingly demand that prevention programs and interventions be more culturally responsive. Interventions that are not aligned with prospective participants’ world views and experiences are only minimally effective. Existing models for conducting culturally grounded program adaptations emphasize identifying distinct levels of cultural influences while preserving core elements of the original intervention. An effective adaptation requires competent language translation as well as trained translations of program concepts and principles that will be meaningful to the targeted group, without compromising program fidelity. This article describes how a university research team and curriculum developers worked with American Indian youth and adults in a large southwestern city using a CBPR process to identify cultural elements that became foundational to the adaptation of a prevention curriculum that is a national model program, with the objective of increasing its applicability for urban native youth.
