Abstract: | In comparing alcohol use among American Indian and non-Indian youth, the age at first involvement with alcohol is younger
for Indians, the frequency and amount of drinking are greater, and the negative consequences are more common. This article
presents the results of an innovative alcohol prevention program for urban Indian youth, blending mainstream prevention approaches
with culturally appropriate intervention. A quasi-experimental treatment/non-equivalent control group research design was
used to evaluate the Seventh Generation Program, comparing scores over time on measures assessing alcohol beliefs as well
as decision-making, social support, locus of control, self-concept, depression, and ethnic identity. Results of repeated measures
analysis revealed significant effects for treatment in the areas of alcohol beliefs, social support, locus of control and
depression.
