Smoking Cessation Intervention for American Indian Women Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence

Description

The goal of this project is to refine and test a culturally-tailored smoking cessation intervention for American Indian women who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV). The primary aims of this study are to: (a) use a community-based participatory approach to refine intervention materials and finalize pilot intervention methodology for a culturally tailored, trauma-informed smoking cessation intervention for AI women who have experienced IPV; (b) examine feasibility, acceptability, satisfaction, and preliminary efficacy of the intervention; and (c) explore changes in alcohol and drug use over the course of the intervention. Participants will be asked to participate in the 8-week Healing Within: Smoking Cessation Intervention for American Indian Women Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence, and complete interviews at baseline, end-of-treatment, and three months from the end of treatment.
