Recent research concludes that prevention of alcohol-exposed pregnancies (AEP) must occur with preconceptional women, either by reducing alcohol consumption in women at-risk or planning pregnancy or preventing pregnancy in women drinking at risky levels. One AEP prevention program currently underway with non-pregnant American Indian women is the Oglala Sioux Tribe (OST) Changing High-risk alcohOl use and Increasing Contraception Effectiveness Study (CHOICES) Program. The OST CHOICES Program shows promise in lowering the AEP risk in American Indian women, and it is a natural next step to evaluate the potential impact that social support can have on further encouraging behavioral changes. Focus groups with community members and key informant interviews with health and social service professionals were completed. To uncover and interpret interrelated themes, a conventional content analysis methodology was used. Eight focus groups were held with 58 American Indian participants, including adult women of child-bearing age, elder women, and adult men. Key informant interviews were completed with 25 health and social service professionals. Based on input from the focus groups and key informant interviews, several subthemes regarding social support in the prevention of AEP stood out, including the role of family (especially elders), the impact community can have, and the important function of culture. In this study, we highlighted the important influence that social support can have on AEP prevention, especially among the American Indian population, where social support has cultural and historical significance.
最近的研究得出结论,预防酒精暴露妊娠(AEP)必须针对孕前女性进行,要么通过降低高危女性的酒精摄入量、规划妊娠,要么防止处于高危饮酒水平的女性怀孕。目前正在非怀孕的美国印第安女性中开展的一项AEP预防项目是奥格拉拉苏族部落(OST)改变高危酒精使用和提高避孕效果研究(CHOICES)项目。OST CHOICES项目在降低美国印第安女性的AEP风险方面显示出了前景,评估社会支持对进一步鼓励行为改变可能产生的潜在影响是自然而然的下一步。完成了与社区成员的焦点小组讨论以及与健康和社会服务专业人员的关键信息提供者访谈。为了揭示和解释相互关联的主题,采用了传统的内容分析方法。与58名美国印第安参与者进行了8次焦点小组讨论,参与者包括育龄成年女性、老年女性和成年男性。与25名健康和社会服务专业人员完成了关键信息提供者访谈。基于焦点小组讨论和关键信息提供者访谈的意见,在预防AEP方面,几个关于社会支持的子主题脱颖而出,包括家庭(尤其是长辈)的作用、社区可能产生的影响以及文化的重要功能。在本研究中,我们强调了社会支持对AEP预防可能产生的重要影响,尤其是在社会支持具有文化和历史意义的美国印第安人群体中。
