Summary

This trial tests whether a 10-week Talking Circle program, rooted in Native American tradition, can help 5th and 6th grade Native American students cope with stress, anxiety, and substance use. Participants are randomly assigned to either the Talking Circle or a wait-list control group that receives general wellness materials. The study measures changes in stress, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and cultural connection to see if the program supports better mental health.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Talking Circle Intervention
What this could lead to
If effective, this culturally grounded program could offer a simple, community-based way to support mental wellness and prevent substance use in Native American youth.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with a modest number of participants, and results may not apply broadly. The program's success depends on delivery and engagement, and it is not a substitute for professional mental health care.
