Community Trial in the Cherokee Nation

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Opioid Abuse

In brief

The target population is students attending high schools in small rural towns in the 14 counties that partially or fully fall within the Cherokee Nation reservation. Following recruitment of 20 school-based clusters, clusters are allocated to either the intervention condition or delayed-intervention control condition using constrained randomization. Constrained randomization helps to ensure balanced cluster sizes as well as similar levels of risk between the intervention and control at baseline. Study participants include all 10th grade students enrolled in the participating study high schools and students will be followed into the first year after their expected graduation.
