Summary
This study tests a program called Journey of Transformation for Native American tenth graders at an off-reservation boarding school. The program uses traditional storytelling, cultural arts, and outdoor activities to teach leadership and healthy decision-making around substance use and sexual health. Researchers will compare students who get the program right away with those on a waitlist to see if it delays or reduces tobacco, alcohol, and drug use.
