What this trial studies

This project aims to develop a culturally grounded, trauma-informed alcohol intervention specifically for a Reserve-Dwelling First Nation group. Utilizing Community-Based Participatory Research methods, the study will engage community partners to co-create the intervention, focusing on historical trauma and alcohol use. The intervention will be evaluated through a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess its acceptability, sustainability, and initial efficacy compared to a waitlist control group. This approach emphasizes collaboration and the integration of Indigenous knowledge and practices.
