Evaluation of Asdzáán Be'eená Teen Pregnancy and Substance Use Prevention Program for Native American Youth and Their Caregiver

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sex Behavior

In brief

The objective of this research study is to evaluate a culturally grounded program among American Indian (AI) female adolescents and their female caregivers. Specifically, investigators aim to evaluate the impact of "Asdzaan Be'eena'" or Female Pathways in English (henceforth referred to as AB) on risk and protective factors for early substance use and sexual debut through a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in partnership with the Navajo Nation. The program was developed and pilot tested through an extensive formative phase conducted by our tribal-academic partnership (IRB protocols: #00006569 and #00009117). Investigators will examine the efficacy of the AB program for reducing risk factors and improving protective factors associated with early substance use and sexual debut, with long term goals of reducing teen pregnancy and teen substance use.
