N2  - This paper examines prevention programs targeting alcohol and other drug use among American Indian youth. We start with a review of what is known about substance use by this population. We provide consideration of specific prevention programs for Indian youth within these frameworks: Cognitive/Information Dissemination, Affective Education, Social Influence, and Personal and Social Skills Training. A particular focus is on the manner in which issues of culture are incorporated into prevention programs. A detailed overview of the diversity of the American Indian population is presented and its implications for prevention work with Indian youth are discussed. A major conclusion is that there is not one type of prevention program that is likely to work with American Indian youth since there is no such thing as a typical American Indian.     <p>Language: en</p>
