Summary

This study tested a program called Asdzáán Be'eená (Female Pathways) for Navajo girls ages 10-14 and their female caregivers. The goal was to see if the program improves communication, monitoring, and teens' plans to delay sex and avoid substance use. About 408 pairs took part, and researchers measured changes over 12 months.
