Interventions

  • culturally tailored, trauma-informed mindfulness smoking cessation intervention — BEHAVIORAL
    Eight weekly in-person group sessions, each 90 minutes long. From the second half of PY01 to PY04, sessions will be performed in closed in groups of 7-10 participants (with a total of 6 groups). The curriculum is grounded in Lakota values and trauma-informed care. Each of the eight sessions will begin and end with a Lakota serenity prayer and "wazílya" (smudging of sage), and the meaning and relevance of one of the Lakota values will be discussed. Through a storytelling approach, which is central to Lakota culture, the participants will learn about their value as a Lakota woman, the role of caŋṡaṡa, the association between unresolved trauma and smoking, and the importance of Lakota mind-based and mindfulness strategies in their lives.

Study Details

Using a highly participatory approach, this study will assess the feasibility, acceptability, and satisfaction with a culturally tailored, trauma-informed smoking cessation intervention for Northern Plains Tribal women who have experienced intimate partner violence. If successful, other American Indian Tribes and Tribal communities can adapt this innovative smoking cessation curriculum for their communities.
