Summary

This study involves adaptation, implementation, and rigorous evaluation of a family-based program designed to prevent early initiation of substance use on a Northern Plains Indian reservation. The program, Thiwáhe Gluwáš'akapi, is a cultural adaptation of the Iowa Strengthening Families Program for Parents and Youth 10-14. Youth and their parents/caregivers will participate in weekly group sessions for 7 weeks and complete pre- and post-intervention surveys assessing a variety of risk and protective factors and youth outcomes. The evaluation design will allow the assessment of the effectiveness of different components within the program.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Lakota Language enhancement

This intervention component includes more extensive adaptation for Lakota families, focusing on use of Lakota language specifically around relationship/kinship terms. Study arms without this component will include the same adapted intervention but with use of English language rather than Lakota.

BEHAVIORAL

Facebook Supplement

This intervention component includes a social media supplement to engage families outside of weekly intervention sessions and will include postings and polls for participating parents/other caregivers to complete between sessions.

BEHAVIORAL

Substance Use Resistance Skills

This intervention component consists of the original substance use resistance skills training from the Iowa Strengthening Families Program for Parents and Youth 10-14; arms without this component will include a session on healthy eating and exercise (attention control).
