Despite declines over the past few decades, the United States has
one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy compared to other industrialized nations. American Indian youth have experienced higher
rates of teen pregnancy compared to the overall population for
decades. Although it’s known that community and cultural adaptation enhance program effectiveness, few teen pregnancy prevention
programs have published on recommendations for adapting these
programs to address the specific needs of Northern Plains American
Indian youth. We employed a mixed-methods analysis of 24 focus
groups and 20 interviews with a combined total of 185 urban and
reservation-based American Indian youth and elders, local health
care providers, and local school personnel to detail recommendations for the cultural adaptation, content, and implementation of
a teen pregnancy prevention program specific to this population.
Gender differences and urban /reservation site differences in the
types of recommendations offered and the potential reasons for
these differences are discussed
