Addiction

American Indian youth experience higher rates of substance use than non-American Indian youth.

Discussions of Mental Health, Recovery, and Faith

This qualitative evaluation was guided by two questions: 1) How does peer recovery support (PRS) support American Indian (AI) people in recovery from substance use disorders? and 2) What makes PRS effective?

Public Health Perspectives on Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders

This report describes evaluation findings based on data collected from learning lesson evaluations, semi-structured key-informant interviews, and administrative documents.

​

Health behaviors related to sex, substance, violence, and self-harm, are at least as common for AI/AN youth as those observed in other US teens.

Culturally relevant interventions are needed to help American Indian and Alaska Native teenagers and young adults navigate common risky situations.

Peer Recovery Support is emerging as a key intervention for communities and individuals as they address high rates of substance abuse and limited recovery resources.

This evaluation found that community readiness was vague, meaning most community members recognize it as a problem, but there is little motivation to do anything about it.
