“…The keepin' it REAL curriculum extended prior prevention models that teach drug resistance and life skills (Botvin, Griffin, Diaz, & Ifill-WIlliams, 2001) by incorporating values and practices from diverse ethnic groups that promote cultural protection against substance use (Castro, Proescholdbell, Abeita, & Rodriguez, 1999). The curriculum was designed to be culturally grounded , that is, embedded in the cultural values of the target populations, rather than merely composed of family members, substance offers made to youth by their relatives, and adult models of substance use and addiction (Bates, Beauvais, & Trimble, 1997;Hurdle et al, 2003;King, Beals, Manson, & Trimble, 1992;LeMaster, Connell, Mitchell, & Manson, 2002;Moran & Reaman, 2002;Oetting, Beauvais, & Edwards, 1988;SAMHSA, 2004;Swaim, Oetting, Thurman, Beauvais, & Edwards, 1993;Trotter et al, 1997;Waller et al, 2003;Yu & Stiffman, 2007;Yu, Stiffman & Freedenthal, 2005). Peers, siblings, and cousins also exert strong influences on AI youth to use substances or resist their use (Trotter et al, 1997).…”

“…The complexity of this relationship may account for research findings that have not found a direct relationship between ethnic identity and drug use (e.g., Bates et al 1997), and suggests the need to examine this relationship more closely. Nonetheless, some research has suggested that there are unique sociocultural contributors to the drug use of Native youth, including the influence of extended family (Hurdle et al 2003;Trotter et al 1997). In fact, some research suggests that family influence has a direct effect on the drug use of Native youth (Oetting et al 1988;Oetting et al 1989).…”

This study explored how a non-targeted group of ethnic minority youth might or might not benefit from a prevention intervention focused on other cultural groups. The study specifically evaluated the effects of an evidence-based drug prevention curriculum with a sample of urban American Indian youth in the southwest U.S., most of whom self-reported multi-ethnic heritages. Using growth curve modeling, this research examined the developmental trajectory of drug use for these youth, and compared it with the trajectory of youth from other racial/ethnic groups at preintervention, post-intervention, and two follow up time periods. Results indicate that alcohol and marijuana use increased from pre-intervention across subsequent time periods for all youth. The drug use of the American Indian youth in the treatment group increased on some measures. Specifically, they reported a steeper trajectory in the amount and frequency of alcohol and marijuana use compared to the youths in the treatment groups with other racial/ethnic identifications. The implications of these findings for the development of culturally grounded prevention programs for multiethnic, urban American Indian youth are discussed. Editors' Strategic Implications: This research provides a specific example, but also makes a strong global argument, for the need to develop and evaluate prevention programs that are culturally grounded in the worldview of the target group.

“…For example, a sense of belonging to school has been shown to provide protection from drug use for American Indian youth of the Southwest (Napoli, Marsiglia, & Kulis, 2003). Trotter, Rolf, and Baldwin (1997) found through ethnographic analysis of interviews with Diné (Navajo) youth that decisions to use drugs were situated within a relational context. Sisters, brothers, and cousins of the youth respondents in their study influenced the respondents' decisions to use substances.…”

The Implications of Ecologically Based Assessment for Primary Prevention with Indigenous Youth Populations

et al. 2006

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper describes a five-stage approach toward conducting an ecologically based assessment with Indigenous youth populations, and the implications of this approach for the development and implementation of culturally grounded prevention interventions. A description of a pilot study funded by the National Institutes of Health/National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIH/NIDA) focused on drug use and American Indian youth is presented as one model for operationalizing ecologically based assessment with Indigenous youth populations, and issues related to translating the pilot study into a prevention intervention are discussed. This paper suggests that ecologically based assessment can serve as a foundation for culturally grounded prevention interventions, promoting the social and ecological validity of those interventions.
