Putting Tribal Nations First: Historical Trends, Current Needs, and Future Directions in Substance use Prevention for American Indian and Alaska Native Youths

Healing of the Canoe: Preliminary Results of a Culturally Tailored Intervention to Prevent Substance Abuse and Promote Tribal Identity for Native Youth in Two Pacific Northwest Tribes​​

“…HOC project development was predicated on an increased empirical and Indigenous knowledge evidence base suggesting that programs derived from the community and incorporating tribal-specific culture, values, and traditions are more acceptable, and may have a more positive impact, than interventions developed with majority populations (Brown et al, 2012; Hawkins et al, 2004; Kenyen & Hanson, 2012; Lowe et al, 2012; Moran & Reaman, 2002; Okamoto et al, 2014). The development process incorporated a number of key components previously noted as contributing to successful development, adaptation, and acceptance of interventions in AI/AN communities (Moran & Reaman, 2002; Trimble, 1992).…”

“…Therefore, it is critical that efforts to reduce substance use and prevent substance abuse with AI/AN youth be implemented in partnership with AI/AN communities, incorporate local expertise and knowledge, build on strengths and resources within the communities, and integrate unique cultural practices (Brown, Baldwin, & Walsh, 2012). It is also important to recognize that the unique cultural characteristics and traditions of the more than 560 federally recognized tribes in the U.S. may limit the generalizability of interventions across tribes, requiring community-informed and tribal-specific adaptations (Gone & Trimble, 2012; Trimble & Beauvais, 2001; Whitesell, Kaufman, et al, 2012).…”
