American Indian (AI) adolescents suffer the largest disparities in substance use and suicide. Predominating prevention models focus primarily on risk and utilize deficit-based approaches. The fields of substance use and suicide prevention research urge for positive youth development frameworks that are strength based and target change at individual and community levels. Entrepreneurship education is an innovative approach that reflects the gap in available programs. This paper describes the development and evaluation of a youth entrepreneurship education program in partnership with one AI community. We detail the curriculum, process evaluation results, and the randomized controlled trial evaluating its efficacy for increasing protective factors. Lessons learned may be applicable to other AI communities.
美国印第安（AI）青少年在物质使用和自杀方面存在最大的差异。主要的预防模式主要关注风险，并采用基于缺陷的方法。物质使用和自杀预防研究领域呼吁采用基于优势的积极青年发展框架，并在个人和社区层面实现目标变革。创业教育是一种创新方法，反映了现有项目中的差距。本文描述了与一个AI社区合作开展的青年创业教育项目的开发和评估。我们详细介绍了课程、过程评估结果以及评估其增加保护因素功效的随机对照试验。所吸取的经验教训可能适用于其他AI社区。
