About the Course

Early-onset substance use is a risk factor for poor long-term outcomes. Indigenous youth are more likely to engage in early-onset substance use than non-Indigenous peers. Therefore, culturally-appropriate prevention programs are needed for Indigenous youth in the school system. This course/article explores the literature examining school-based substance use prevention programs for Indigenous children between the ages of seven years to thirteen years. This course/article will review best practices for developing school-based substance use prevention programs for Indigenous youth and will include recommendations for facilitating community engagement and participation.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, A Scoping Review of School-based Indigenous Substance Use Prevention in Preteens (7–13 Years) created by Geoffrey Maina RN, BScN, MN, PhD, et al. in 2020.
