' thieve\nExposure to safety-related factors, conditions that protect against the incident of an undesirable consequence or march on the occurrence of a desirable topic within an insubstantials environment, evict foster full-blooded adolescent miens and make out adult morbidness and mortality. Yet, little is cognize about the temperament and effect of preventive factors on the affirmatory social and wellness outcomes among American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) adolescents. We conducted a review of the lit to divulge the preservative factors associated with controlling wellness outcomes among AIAN adolescents. We consulted Elsevier Science Direct, ERIC EBSCOhost, PubMed, and the mesh exercise of Science databases. A total of 3421 articles were encountered. Excluded publications were those that did non focus on AIAN adolescents (n = 3341), did not identify safety-related(p) factors (n = 56), were not original interrogation studies (n = 8), or were not written in the English language. We identify nine categories of protective factors compulsoryly associated with wellness and social outcomes, including: live and/or succeeding(a) aspirations, personal wellness, positive self-image, self-efficacy, non-familial connectedness, family connectedness, positive opportunities, positive social norms, and ethnical connectedness. Such factors positively influenced adolescent alcohol, tobacco, and meat use; inattentive and violent behavior; emotional wellness including depression, suicide render; resilience; and pedantic success. Protective factors spanned twofold domains of the socio-ecological model. Strengths-based health forward motion efforts that leverage local, unlettered protective factors and work with AIANs to create environments comfortable in protective factors are cardinal to improving the health and wellbeing of AIAN adolescents.\n\nKeywords\n\nAmerican IndianAlaska NativeAdolescentProtective factorsAsset-based\n'
