Native PATHS for Substance Use Prevention in North American Indian Adolescents
This study is developing and testing a program called Native PATHS (Positive Approaches to reducing Harm from Substance Use). This program is designed to help prevent alcohol, tobacco, and drug use in young people. It's a strengths-based, family prevention program that focuses on delaying when young people start using these substances. We're looking for North American Indian adolescents aged 10 to 14 (grades 5-8) and their family members to join. The main goal is to see if Native PATHS is acceptable, practical, and shows early signs of working to reduce alcohol use in the past month. The current status of the study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention. It plans to enroll 60 participants, including youth and their family members.
- What's involved
- Participants will take part in three talking circle sessions to provide feedback. After that, some will participate in an open-label pilot where they provide feedback after each session.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Alcohol use will be measured at the end of treatment (up to 12 weeks) and again six months after treatment ends.
