About the Course

This course is compromised of two studies examining substance use in the American Indian youth population. It includes The Intertribal Talking Circle intervention and the adapted Strengthening Families Program for Parents and Youth 10-14. The latter study used the MOST approach and engaged the community in the creation of the preventative program on the reservation.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, Formative Research and Cultural Tailoring of a Substance Abuse Prevention Program for American Indian Youth: Findings from the Intertribal Talking Circle Intervention created by Julie A. Baldwin, Ph.D. et al in 2021 and the reading-based online article, Nancy Rumbaugh Whitesell, Ph.D. et al. Formative Research and Cultural Tailoring of a Substance Abuse Prevention Program for American Indian Youth: Findings From the Intertribal Talking Circle Intervention in 2019.
