Abstract

Urban American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) young adults and their families are often geographically or socially distant from tribal networks and traditional social support. Young adults can be especially vulnerable to cultural and social disconnection, so understanding how AI/AN family functioning can augment resilience and protect against risk is important. This research precedes a preventive substance use intervention study and explores urban Native family functioning, emphasizing the role of young adults by analyzing data from 13 focus groups with urban AI/AN young adults (n = 32), parents (n = 25), and health providers (n = 33). We found that young adults can and want to become agents of family resilience, playing active roles in minimizing risks and strengthening family functioning in both practical and traditional ways. Also, extended family and community networks played a vital role in shaping family dynamics to support resilience. These resilience pathways suggest potential targets for intervention.

  • Results resonate with themes from prior research, particularly the importance of culturally grounded approaches and community engagement in effectively addressing substance use issues within these communities.

    “Overall, results resonate with themes from prior research (Brown et al., 2024; Palimaru et al., 2022; Venner et al., 2021), particularly the importance of culturally grounded approaches and community engagement in effectively addressing substance use issues within these communities.”

    From Bridging Traditions and Prevention: Insights into Implementing and Sustaining Substance Use Programs for Urban AI/AN Communities (2026) · cites this paper as Palimaru et al., 2022

    The Methods describe developing a culturally centered substance-use prevention intervention with guidance from community members. The Results and Discussion identify traditional practices and community support as sources of resilience and recommend building on them in future interventions. This qualitative study does not establish that those approaches effectively reduce substance use. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
