This study builds on the concept of cultural continuity from the Indigenous suicide prevention literature. It seeks to understand the collective influences shaping individual experiences across time and frames resilience as a culturally situated process that helps individuals to navigate challenges and facilitate positive health behaviors. A collaborative Alaska Native (AN) partnership designed the Protective Community Scale (PCS) to identify mutable community-level protective factors in rural AN communities hypothesized to reduce suicide among youth, who represent the highest risk demographic in this at-risk population. Study objectives were to (a) test the measurement structure of community-level protection from suicide, (b) select best functioning items to define this structure, and (c) test the association of community protection with community-level suicide deaths and attempts. In 65 rural AN communities, 3-5 residents (n = 251) were peer-nominated for their knowledge of local resources and completed the PCS in structured interviews. Findings show community members can reliably assess the theoretically rich, multidimensional community-level protective factor structure of cultural continuity with sufficient precision to establish its inverse association with community-level suicide. Community-level protection emerges as a promising approach for universal suicide prevention in Indigenous contexts that can guide multi-level strategies that expand beyond individual-level, tertiary prevention to focus on the continuity of cultural processes as resources to build protection. These findings point the field toward consideration of cultural continuity and community protection as key factors for Indigenous suicide prevention.</p>","PeriodicalId":48268,"journal":{"name":"Prevention Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143190826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We searched multiple databases, grey literature, and relevant websites for studies detailing the cultural adaptation process of EBPs. We then categorized common adaptation steps, classified adaptations using the cultural sensitivity model, identified prevalent adaptation techniques, and determined effectiveness assessment methods. We reviewed the cultural adaptation processes of 43 EBPs. These programs were implemented in schools (51%), followed by family settings (30%), community settings (14%), and multi-component settings (5%). Eleven key steps were identified across the documents: local needs assessment, program selection, understanding of the program's curriculum, advisory group establishment, first draft of initial adaptation changes, staff selection and training, pilot study, enhanced cultural adaptation, implementation, evaluation and monitoring, and dissemination. Most programs integrated both surface (e.g., use of local images, material translation) and deep adaptations (e.g., incorporation of cultural values like \"familismo\"). Despite the common use of the cultural sensitivity model, detailed adaptation frameworks were often lacking.

While numerous studies have been implemented to understand how these changes are related to youth's development, few concerned large representative samples. This study introduces the methodology and initial results of the Quebec (Canada) Resilience Project (QRP), a representative longitudinal study. The QRP encompassed three phases: (a) 2017 census survey assessing school readiness in kindergarteners before the pandemic (n = 83,335, aged 6 years); (b) 2021 questionnaire study assessing family functioning during COVID-19-related lockdowns (n = 4524, aged 10 years); and (c) 2022 questionnaire survey assessing children's school performance and mental health post-lockdowns (n = 8217, aged 11 years). In total, 3871 children were assessed either by parents or teachers in the three phases. We explored factors associated with children school performance (maths, reading, and writing) and mental health (emotional, withdrawal, hyperactivity/impulsivity/inattention, and conduct problems symptoms). Population weights were estimated from census data to maintain the representativeness of the population. School readiness vulnerability in kindergarten and parental anxiety and depression during lockdowns were associated with both children's lower school performances and higher levels of all mental health symptoms post-lockdown. Loss in family income and parental difficulties in maintaining work-life balance during lockdowns were associated with children's lower school performance and higher levels of some mental health symptoms (emotional and hyperactivity/impulsivity/inattention) post-lockdown. The results underscore that pandemic-related disruptions were negatively associated with children's school performance, emphasizing the need for interventions in the school environment.

Field-based health services became a logistically feasible alternative to medical center-based care. We compared two different field-based approaches to the delivery of SARS-CoV-2 testing and health education services for Latine communities using a quasi-experimental design that included propensity score matching to accommodate the challenges posed to research by the pandemic. From September 2021 through October 2022, we held 434 testing events, of which 234 used a geolocation approach and 200 used a partner-located approach to determine the location of the health services (n = 68 field sites in Oregon). We hypothesized that partner-located sites would obtain higher numbers of tests collected relative to geolocated sites, and that longer drive times to testing sites would be associated with lower testing rates. There were no differences in the number of tests collected by geolocated versus partner-located sites, controlling for population size and time-varying pandemic vulnerabilities measured as COVID-19 cases and deaths. Prior to propensity score weighting, a longer drive time to the testing site (both site types) was associated with a lower likelihood of total tests (IRR = .87, p < .01, CI [0.54, 0.92]), of Latine tests (IRR = .69, p < .001, CI [0.56, 0.84]), and of male tests collected (IRR = .67, p < .05, CI [0.47, 0.94]). The site's number of prior tests was associated with a significant 2% increase in tests collected and the prior week's number of county deaths was associated with a roughly 30% decrease in the likelihood of tests collected. However, the reduced testing rate when the death rate was higher was less likely in geolocated sites (IRR = 1.55, p < .001, CI [1.20, 2.01]).

Polynomial regression analyses and three-dimensional response surface plots tested and probed significant (p < .05) interactions between either actual acceptance or perceptual accuracy and intervention format on postintervention reactive and proactive aggression.

An integration of the PAX Good Behavior Game (GBG; Barrish et al., 1969) and MyTeachingPartner (MTP; Allen et al., 2015) was tested in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to investigate whether the combined programs would improve long-term outcomes for early career teachers.

We engaged youth to participate in group model building, a system science approach, to understand from their perspective how social complexities influence the uptake, continuation, and escalation of marijuana use. Two independent groups of clinic and community-recruited youth aged 15-20 participated in a series of four 2-h workshops. Through structured activities, participants generated a causal loop diagram (CLD) representing critical features of the complex and dynamic social system impacting marijuana use for youth in their community. The CLD that emerged represents the mental models of youth and features fourteen feedback loops, including balancing and reinforcing loops, across three domains. These interrelated domains span within-relationship behaviors, factors proximal to marijuana use, and influences on the partner pool, which impact the quality of adolescent romantic relationships and contribute to a high prevalence of marijuana use among youth. Applying a system perspective offers new insights on how stress, and behaviors within relationships in response to stress, feed back to magnify relationship dysfunction and fuel marijuana use. This model provides a new foundation for future research and data collection to better understand and test the identified relationships and feedback loops.
