Study Summary

This trial is testing a new program, Native PATHS, to see if it is more effective than a wait-list control condition in reducing risk factors for suicide among Indigenous youth.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for North American Indian adolescents in grades 5th - 8th and their influential family members who are at least 18 years old. Participants should be living within a First Nation community and identify as a member of that community. Only one youth per household can join, with the goal to help them make good decisions about substance use.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing Native PATHS, an intervention aimed at preventing substance use among young people. It includes talking circles for feedback on cultural adaptation, an open label pilot for initial reactions, and finally a randomized controlled trial comparing the program's efficacy against waiting for treatment.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on prevention education rather than medication or medical procedures, traditional side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort discussing sensitive topics related to substance use.
