A great deal of programming has been developed to prevent sexual assault (SA) among adolescents. Few studies examine programming implementation among minority groups and present information about program acceptability among participants and community stakeholders. The purpose of the current study was to examine the acceptability of implementing an empowerment SA self-defense program for adolescent girls on an Indian reservation. Data for the study came from posttest surveys of Native American adolescent girls who participated in an SA prevention program (N = 102) and interviews with community stakeholders, including program participants (N = 18). Results showed that acceptability was high among program participants and community stakeholders. Program participants noted that they liked the program overall and liked components of the programming. Participants noted that they disliked pressure to participate, program length, and missing class. Among community stakeholders, all expressed an overall positive impression of the program, felt that the program had a positive impact on program participants, and appreciated that girls learned to use refusal skills. Community stakeholders provided several programming improvement ideas such as incorporating culturally specific content into the program for future implementation. These findings can be used by other researchers, schools, and practitioners implementing prevention programs with Native American girls.

“我学会了我值得捍卫”：对在印第安保留地实施的性侵犯预防计划的过程评估

已经开发了大量程序来防止青少年性侵犯 (SA)。很少有研究调查少数群体的计划实施情况，并提供有关参与者和社区利益相关者对计划可接受性的信息。当前研究的目的是检查为印第安保留地的少女实施赋权南澳自卫计划的可接受性。该研究的数据来自对参与 SA 预防计划的美洲原住民少女的后测调查 ( N  = 102) 以及对社区利益相关者的采访，包括计划参与者 ( N = 18）。结果表明，项目参与者和社区利益相关者的接受度很高。计划参与者指出，他们总体上喜欢该计划并喜欢该计划的组成部分。参与者指出，他们不喜欢参与压力、课程长度和缺课。在社区利益相关者中，所有人都对该计划表示了总体积极的印象，认为该计划对计划参与者产生了积极影响，并赞赏女孩学会了使用拒绝技巧。社区利益相关者提供了一些计划改进的想法，例如将特定于文化的内容纳入计划以备将来实施。这些发现可供其他研究人员、学校和从业人员使用，以实施针对美洲原住民女孩的预防计划。
