The Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians' SPRING program will provide the LTBB community with culturally based prevention programs to reduce underage alcohol and marijuana use in Native youth ages 9 to 20 years old in the project catchment area of Emmet and Cheboygan counties. We anticipate reaching 120 youth during the first year of the five year project. Cultural-based prevention programs include Nish Fish, Living our Culture Today, Paddle Into New Generations and Camp Us. The Parents Who Host campaign will be conducted in the catchment area and all Tribal youth being issued a Tribal ID will receive a vertical ID to distinguish them from adult ID cards. Prevention programming will expand to include youth ages 9 to 11 years old. Goal 1: Prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse and reduce substance abuse related problems in Tribal youth ages 9 to 20 years old. Objective 1.1: During the 60-month project, conduct at least 5 LTBB Youth Survey needs assessments based on Tribal data with at least 70% of Tribal youth in the catchment area participating, and assist with collecting local data by assisting 100% of service area schools implement the MiPHY biannually. Objective 1.2: During the 60-month project, implement prevention-based culturally-sensitive programs to reduce Native American youth 30-day use of both alcohol and marijuana by 5%, reduce modifiable risk factors by 5% and increase protective factors by 5% as measured by the MiPHY and LTBB Youth surveys. Goal 2: Strengthen capacity infrastructure for prevention efforts within the Tribal community, including leveraging of community resources, to address substance abuse among Tribal youth ages 9 to 20 years old. Objective 2.1: During the 60-month project, strengthen capacity infrastructure in the LTBB community through implementation of at least four community-based prevention-oriented cultural events or activities annually. Objective 2.2: During the 60-month project, develop a sustainability plan for LTBB substance abuse/use prevention efforts. Activities will center around the SPF process to ensure a community-based approach is utilized. Assessment will take place annually. Capacity will be ongoing to continue development of youth protective factors and community ownership. Planning will be ongoing to determine 9-11 year old prevention programs and to develop a SPRING sustainability plan. Implementation will take place starting in Year 01. Evaluation will be ongoing to ensure data can be provide to SAMHSA at any given interval.
