From the author: In 1990, researchers and health care professionals joined with members of several southwestern Native American communities to form an HIV/AIDS and substance abuse prevention partnership. Culturally sensitive approaches to theory-based interventions were developed into highly replicable, structured, school-based and community-based intervention programs. Process evaluations indicated high levels of program acceptance and fidelity. Outcome evaluations demonstrated significant positive preventive intervention effects among participants. This article reports how NAPPASA school prevention curricula were developed and discusses three critical processes in developing these successful curricula: 1) selection of integrative theory to address the multi-dimensional antecedents of HIV/AIDS and substance abuse among Native Americans, 2) use of ethnographic methodology to obtain intensive input from target groups and community members to ensure cultural and developmental sensitivity in the curriculum, and 3) use of process and outcome evaluations of pilot and field trials to develop an optimal curriculum. (J Sch Health. 1996;66(9):322-327)

From the supplier: An AIDS and substance abuse prevention program designed for Native American adolescents may be effective and well-accepted by the community. The program was developed for use in schools and the community with careful attention paid to making the program culturally acceptable. It was reviewed by adolescent, adult, and advisory focus groups. Linking the visible threat of substance abuse with the invisible threat of AIDS creates an effective prevention program for the Native American community.
