Development of a Culturally Grounded, Trauma-Informed Alcohol Intervention With a Reserve-Dwelling First Nation Group

The objective of this project is to develop and obtain preliminary data on a culturally grounded, trauma-informed alcohol intervention. The specific aims are to (1) use Community-Based Participatory Research methods to deepen partnerships with First Nation through capacity-building and knowledge sharing; (2) collect and apply qualitative data to develop a culturally grounded, trauma-informed alcohol intervention that is focused on historical trauma for use with a First Nation sample; and (3) conduct a pilot RCT study to examine acceptability, sustainability, and initial efficacy data of the intervention compared to waitlist control. This work is important, timely, and innovative. Addressing alcohol use has important implications for the health of Indigenous populations.
