NIAAA Webinar: Substance Abuse Prevention for Youth in Indigenous Communities
Building biomedical research capacity in North Dakota
by serving public universities and tribal colleges within the state
Please join NIAAA researchers and Alaska Native community members in a conversation about innovative prevention strategies for indigenous communities–in particular, how tapping into a community’s culture can serve as a cornerstone for youth alcohol and suicide prevention efforts.
The discussion will describe a toolkit developed by NIAAA grantees in collaboration with the Yup'ik Native Alaskan community. We will also discuss how culturally appropriate and community-based principles may be applicable in youth prevention efforts in similar communities across the country.
