NEZ PERCE TRIBE: Partnerships for Success
OCTOBER 1, 2019
The Nez Perce Tribe (Nimiipuu) is implementing the Strategic Prevention Framework-Partnerships for Success (SPF-PFS) effort to address the problem of alcohol and marijuana use among Native American youth. Participatory Action Research will guide the SPF-PFS process. According to the University of Kansas’ Community Tool Box, Action Research involves people “who are most affected by a community issue – typically in collaboration or partnership with others who have research skills – to conduct research on and analyze that issue, with the goal of devising strategies to resolve it.” The tribe will directly engage youth and young adults in learning more about an issue that affects them (alcohol and marijuana use and binge drinking) and take action (e.g. develop solutions) to help resolve the problem. They will develop a Youth/Young Adult Coalition to assist in this process. Trylon will develop focus group protocols and collect school-wide surveys from districts on and near the reservation.
