We examined the effectiveness of implementing this intervention during a residential summer program for AI high school students. Materials and Methods: The educational intervention consisted of 15 preconception health education sessions and was piloted during a summer high school residential academic program. The intervention (N = 39) and non-intervention (N = 38) groups were comprised of incoming AI female freshmen representing comparable demographics. A pre- and post-intervention survey was administered to both groups. Results: Results indicated a significant difference in Time 2 (T2; post-intervention) scores, with the intervention group scoring higher than the non-intervention group in overall preconception health knowledge and obesity knowledge.

Thu, 17 May 2012 10:27:11 +0100 | American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research
Authors: Craig Rushing S, Stephens D Abstract Media technologies, including the Internet, cell phones, and video games, offer new avenues to reach Native youth on sensitive health topics. Project Red Talon, a sexually transmitted disease (STD)/HIV prevention project that serves the 43 federally recognized tribes in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, used community-based participatory research methods in partnership with the Northwest tribes to review existing technology-based interventions and generate recommendations for designing interventions that reflect the culture, needs, and organizational capacities of participating tribes and Native youth. These findings are now being used to guide the development of technology-based health interventions targeting American Indian/Alaska Native...

Alaska Native and rural youth views of sexual health: A focus group project on sexually transmitted diseases, HIV/----, and unplanned pregnancy.
Thu, 17 May 2012 10:27:11 +0100 | American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research
Conclusions: One of the fundamental principles of public health practice is community participation, which asserts that success in achieving change is enhanced by the active participation of the intended audience in defining their own high-priority solutions. Our findings-driven by youth themselves-are critical in designing and implementing future sexual health interventions and promoting greater community involvement and acceptance.
