Abstract

The outcomes of this study revealed the importance of recruiting local Native American tribal community members as participants in an Adult Facilitator Trainee Program for a cultural based intervention, Intertribal Talking Circle (ITC), that addresses prevention of substance use among Native American youth. Survey results indicate that Native-Reliance (cultural identity) and self-efficacy increased among the trainees from base-line to 3-months post the training session. Themes emerged from qualitative interviews conducted with the participants that described their readiness to implement and sustain the Talking Circle intervention program within their tribal communities after the research project was completed.
