Indigenous Recovery Planning for American Indians

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Substance Use Disorders; Alcohol Use Disorder
• Interventions: Behavioral: Indigenous Recovery Planning

• Registration Number: NCT05612061
• Lead Sponsor: Montana State University

Brief Summary

This research project uses a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) framework to test the efficacy of a culturally adapted relapse prevention intervention developed collaboratively by community partners from the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in northeastern Montana and research partners from Montana State University. The Indigenous Recovery Planning intervention employs trained Fort Peck community members to deliver manualized intervention content to American Indian adults with substance use disorder (SUD). By increasing access to culturally responsive evidence-based treatment, this research aims to decrease SUD-related health disparities and improve public health outcomes for underserved Native communities locally and nationally.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Treatment Group	Indigenous Recovery Planning	Receives Indigenous Recovery Planning (IRP) intervention, which includes 6 weekly group intervention sessions lasting about 2 hours each.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Percent days absent	At Time 1, we will assess alcohol and drug use in the 90 days prior to assessment, and each subsequent assessment will measure use in the time since the previous one (approximately 6 weeks).	Percent days absent will be measured using the Timeline Followback (TLFB), a widely used calendar-based recall instrument shown to yield valid and reliable estimates of substance use behavior. Additional analyses will be conducted with other variables derived from TLFB data, including number of drinks per drinking day, percent heavy drinking days, and percent drug use days.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of substance-related consequences experienced within the past 6 weeks	Measured at baseline and each 6 week follow-up assessment time point (time 1-time 5)	Measured by the Drinker Inventory of Consequences, modified for alcohol and drug use
