Official title
A Native Path to Courage: Feasibility Study of a Culturally Adapted Emotional-Behavioral Prevention Program for American Indian Children
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
American Indians (AI) are at greater risk for anxiety and depression early in life. This is concerning given the potential negative effects of these conditions across the lifespan (substance use, suicide). Available culturally adapted prevention and early interventions (PEIs) for anxiety and depression in AI youth are limited. Thus, there is a critical need for the development and evaluation of a culturally consonant, brief PEI for anxiety and depression in AI youth. The investigators' goal is to provide the community with a potentially successful PEI to mitigate AI youth's anxiety and depression that integrates culture and traditions for delivery in schools. The Specific Aims of the proposed research were to 1) culturally adapt a PEI program for AI youth living on a Northern Plains tribal reservation (chosen by the Cultural Advisory Board; CAB), 2) evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the culturally-adapted program with AI youth living on the reservation, and 3) estimate effect size changes in anxiety and depressive symptoms of the culturally adapted program with the AI youth. The investigators built upon the investigators' strong community relationships and CBPR methods to achieve these aims. The investigators partnered with the CAB to culturally adapt the PEI program for AI youth in year 1 and 2 using a CBPR framework, including AI youth and parents. In year 2, the investigators trained an AI school counselor from the tribal community and a white school counselor from the two tribal serving schools on the reservation to implement the adapted PEI program. We pilot tested the 6-week program (one 20-30 minute session per week) with 28 AI 3rd-6th graders in two schools serving youth from the reservation in year 3. The investigators will partner with the tribal community to further refine and tailor the adapted PEI program using the results of this study. Moreover, further testing of the refined program's efficacy and sustainability will be conducted using a larger sample and randomized, two-group design.
