Substance Abuse | Other: Intergenerational culturally adapted curriculum | Not Applicable |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 576 participants |
Allocation: | Non-Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | The investigators use a two arm non-equivalent control group design with pretest, immediate post- test, and 12 month follow-up assessment points. Among quasi-experimental designs that could be employed, this design carries several advantages over other designs in being able to infer causality. One advantage of this design is that it allows for a more meaningful analysis of the impact of the FL/CP intervention by a comparison of the intervention group with the usual and customary comparison group, an advantage not possible with single-group over time designs. Second, the design provides an analysis of diffusion effects (i.e. the potential influence of the intervention on the comparison group over time). Given the tight social networks and small number of interconnected families in the three participating communities, the investigators expect some degree of program diffusion in the comparison group families. |
Masking: | None (Open Label) |
Masking Description: | Due to factors that make the randomization of participants to either an intervention or usual and customary treatment group not feasible, the investigators do not use randomization or masking. |

Experimental: Program group
Tribal Research Team members recruit participants by sending letters home with the fourth and fifth grade children. This letter provides an overview of the FL/CP and invite interested parents and children to learn more. TRT and UNM team members follow-up with interested parents individually. If families are committed to being a part of FL/CP, a meeting is set to conduct the informed consent process and complete pretest. Families in the program group then attend FL/CP sessions which covers the intergenerational culturally adapted curriculum. Program families also participate in various aspects of the program including completing a Community Action Project.

Other: Intergenerational culturally adapted curriculum
Each session starts with a collective dinner with families eating together. Then practice their Indian and clan names. The sessions are led by facilitators in their own language or bilingually. The facilitators then divide the families into children and adult groups to address the theme of the session, and they then return together at the end of the session to share their learnings. The sessions always end with the children and adults writing in their journals which are individual pages that they then put in their curriculum binders. Families are then given their "home practice," which is a task that the families do together during the intervening week. The facilitators collect the curriculum binders after each session to bring back to the families the next week. |
No Intervention: Comparison group
Upon receiving the letter families that selected not to participate or who decline to participate will be invited to take part in the research study as comparison participants. Comparison participants do not attend the FL/CP sessions and only complete the pre, post and 1 year post tests.
