Black Hills Center for American Indian Health
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.
Cigarette smoking and intimate partner violence (IPV) are preventable, major public health concerns that result in severe physical and psychological consequences. Women who have experienced IPV are more likely to suffer from substance use, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder --all of which are risk factors for smoking. Among women who have experienced IPV, post-traumatic stress disorder severity is related to nicotine dependence. Smoking prevalence among women who have experienced IPV is as high as 51% to 70%, which is two to three times greater than among women nationally.…
