Strengthening Healthy Relationships Among Apsaalooke Youth

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot project proposes to build upon these cultural strengths, including the clan system, to test the feasibility of a translational research intervention to promote healthy relationships and prevent dating violence among Apsáalooke youth. Community Advisory Board members identified 5th grade as an important age to establish healthy dating norms. The feasibility study includes a one-group pre/post intervention that includes 10-hour long sessions with youth to promote healthy relationship knowledge, volition, and communication skills. Elders and near-peer (young adults) will assist during these sessions sharing advice and serving as role models for youth. In addition, to promote the connectedness between youth and their community, there are 3 monthly clan feeds.

Clinical Trial Description

This project builds upon long-standing community-based participatory research partnerships between Montana State University and the Crow Nation. Through these partnerships, Apsáalooke community members prioritized healthy relationships among youth as a critical area for intervention. Through interviews and focus groups with Apsaalooke community members a strength-based strategy to promote healthy relationships among youth has emerged. This pilot project proposes to build upon these cultural strengths, including the clan system, to test the feasibility of a translational research intervention to promote healthy relationships and prevent dating violence among Apsáalooke youth. Community Advisory Board members identified 5th grade as an important age to establish healthy dating norms. The feasibility study includes a one-group pre/post intervention that includes 10-hour long sessions with youth to promote healthy relationship knowledge, volition, and communication skills. Elders and near-peer (young adults) will assist during these sessions sharing advice and serving as role models for youth. In addition, to promote the connectedness between youth and their community, there are 3 monthly clan feeds. Using a participatory approach, our project will accomplish the following aims: 1. Using a participatory research approach, finish adapting and localizing the curriculum. 2. Test the feasibility of pilot intervention among Apsáalooke youth and their families. 3. Refine pilot intervention and design an appropriate translational intervention (R01) for promoting healthy relationship skills among Apsáalooke youth. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
