项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Substance abuse by Native American Indians accounts for life-threatening and deadly problems such as accidents, chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, homicide, and suicide. Because Cherokees represent the second- largest tribe in the United States, a large percentage of alcohol and drug use among Native American Indians can be attributed to the Cherokee people. Survey findings for students at one high school in the Cherokee Nation indicate that 90-95 percent have tried alcohol; 70 percent have tried marijuana; and 24-27 percent have tried inhalants. The overall objective of the "Community Partnership to Affect Cherokee Adolescent Substance Abuse" project is to strengthen a partnership between the Florida Atlantic University College of Nursing and a Native American Indian (Cherokee) community to affect substance abuse among Cherokee adolescents by developing and testing a culturally competent school-based intervention. The PI, a new investigator, has done pilot work testing the feasibility of using the intervention with Cherokee adolescents. Proposed plans for the intervention include a traditional Cherokee Talking Circle for substance abuse. Specifically, the project aims to: (a) create a community partnership steering committee that is representative of members from the local Cherokee community where the community-based participatory research will be conducted; (b) assess the Cherokee community needs regarding substance abuse; (c) partner with the Cherokee community to create culturally competent Talking Circle intervention materials and select culturally appropriate outcome measures; (d) evaluate the difference in substance abuse, Cherokee self-reliance, and stress for Cherokee adolescents who receive the culturally competent intervention and those who receive standard substance abuse education. It is expected that the results of this study will increase knowledge about: (a) design of a culturally competent intervention; (b) selection of culturally appropriate outcome measures; and (c) effectiveness of the intervention for affecting substance abuse among Cherokee adolescents. It is also expected that the community-based research process will contribute to community capacity for managing the health issue of adolescent substance abuse. Further, the data generated from this project will contribute to continuing research with Native American Indian adolescents who are abusing substances.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国原住民印第安人滥用药物涉及威胁生命和致命问题，例如事故，慢性肝病，肝硬化，杀人剂和自杀。由于切诺基人代表了美国第二大部落，因此美国原住民印第安人在大量的酒精和吸毒中可以归因于切诺基人。切诺基国家一所高中的学生的调查结果表明，有90-95％的人尝试了酒精。 70％的人尝试了大麻； 24-27％的人尝试了吸入剂。 “影响切诺基青少年滥用药物滥用的社区伙伴关系”项目的总体目标是加强佛罗里达大西洋大学护理学院与美洲印第安人（切诺基）社区之间的伙伴关系，以影响切诺基青少年的药物滥用，通过开发和测试以文化为基础的学校胜任性的干预措施。 PI是一名新研究人员，已经进行了试点工作，以测试与切诺基青少年使用干预的可行性。拟议的干预计划包括传统的切诺基谈话圈，以滥用药物。具体而言，该项目的目的是：（a）建立一个社区伙伴关系指导委员会，该委员会代表当地切诺基社区的成员，将在此进行基于社区的参与性研究；（b）评估切诺基社区对滥用毒品的需求；（c）与切诺基社区合作，创建具有文化胜任的会说话圈的干预材料，并选择适当的文化结果指标；（d）评估接受文化胜任干预的切诺基青少年以及接受标准药物滥用教育的切诺基青少年的毒品滥用，切诺基自力更生和压力的差异。预计这项研究的结果将增加有关：（a）具有文化胜任干预的设计；（b）选择适合文化的结果度量；（c）干预对切诺基青少年滥用药物滥用的有效性。还可以预期，基于社区的研究过程将有助于社区管理青少年药物滥用健康问题的能力。此外，该项目产生的数据将有助于与正在滥用物质的美洲印第安人青少年继续进行研究。
