| Abstract |
Examines health behaviors of 75 Native American youths at five sites in the northeastern US via administration of preventive health curricula, emphasizing cancer risks in their dietary practices & recreational tobacco use, as well as cultural identification. Links were found between cultural identification & health behaviors. Culturally grounded preventive health interventions led to improved health behavior with native youth at some sites, but not others. 24 References. Adapted from the source document
