Detailed Description
Investigators will implement a multisite randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a family-centered alcohol and drug prevention program for Anishinabe (Ojibwe) pre-adolescents in 3rd or 4th grade (Fall 2017) or who are age 8-10 years on June 1, 2017. to assess its efficacy for delaying and/or preventing adolescent onset of alcohol and drug use. This unique project will empirically address cultural challenges for RCTs involving AI cultures by evaluating contamination and informal diffusion in AI communities and extended families. AI values of sharing and community benefits clash with Western RCT methods of withholding benefits from control groups vs. treatment groups. Although risks of informal community dissemination and control group contamination are widely acknowledged challenges for AI RCTs, the degree to which this actually occurs and the potential impact has never been assessed. Rather, efforts are made to suppress and minimize AI values that result in informal dissemination and contamination, or the potential effects are simply ignored. This research will address these challenges by attempting to measure and control for them. The intent-to-treat study design will allow us to use question routing aimed at identifying content sharing among treatment and control adolescents and their treatment and control group parents. Moreover, the project will also use question routes to investigate potential contamination via extended family members who have contact with both the treatment and control families. Investigators will then assess potential impact of measured contamination on observed intervention effects.
At the completion of the study, Investigators will work with community research partners to develop a plan to sustain the prevention program. A sustainability plan is part of our model for developing and implementing culturally specific evidence-based prevention programs. Communities have readiness for sustainability due to familiarity and the popularity of BZDDD. We will work through community advisory boards (named Prevention Research Councils or PRCs) to place the program within schools, health services, and social services agencies. The project will leave behind comprehensive facilitator manuals in addition to a videotaped training program to facilitate ongoing training. In addition, the program has recently been adapted to a virtual program in response to COVID-19. The investigative team has a proven track record of sustainability in prior adaptions of BZDDD.

Experimental: BZDDD Prevention Program Intervention
We employed an experimental randomized block (RB) design; blocked on reservation where 157 were assigned to the intervention condition (Bii-Zin-Da-De-Dah (Listening to One Another) 14 week family based prevention program).
The first 4 weeks of the program are oriented towards the Anishinabe cultural traditions and the traditional Anishinabe family.
Weeks 5 through 8 focus on identifying feelings and how to manage negative feelings such as anger and sadness in positive ways.
The last 6 weeks of the program focus on outside influences and how to build positive support systems.
Prior to the intervention, we completed a pre-test with families in the experimental group.
Following the program, we completed a post-test and a 6-month youth follow-up.

Bii-Zin-Da-De-Dah (Listening to One Another) is a family-centered alcohol and drug prevention program for Anishinabe communities.
It was the first American Indian adaptation of the Iowa Strengthening Families Program (now called the Strengthening Families Program).
This program has been developed and adapted in partnership with multiple Anishinabe communities over a span of 13 years.
Bii-Zin-Da-De-Dah has been enormously popular in communities.
It is currently the center piece of a National Canadian Mental Health Promotion Program funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada.
Now in its third Phase, focusing on national scale-up among first nations people, it has been adapted for eight cultures and translated into French in a recent implementation in Canada.
