American Indian (AI) women are at risk of alcohol-exposed pregnancy (AEP) due to the higher prevalence of alcohol use disorders (AUDs) and risky drinking. The Native Changing High-Risk Alcohol Use and Increasing Contraception Effectiveness Study (Native CHOICES) was implemented in partnership with a Northern Plains Tribal community to address the effectiveness of a brief, motivational interviewing-based intervention to reduce AEP risk among adult AI women. A subgroup of the participants shared their perspectives in a qualitative interview conducted following the completion of the six-month post-baseline data collection. These interviews solicited participant perspectives on the Native CHOICES intervention and its satisfaction, reach, acceptability, and sustainability. The participants were delighted with Native CHOICES, felt the intervention helped them learn about AEP prevention and goal setting, learned valuable lessons, and believed Native CHOICES would be well-received by other women in their community and should be continued. The participants also shared how the COVID-19 pandemic affected their choices about drinking and birth control. The findings showed the receptivity to and acceptance of Native CHOICES among AI women. The interview findings offered a glimpse into the effectiveness of Native CHOICES and how it contributed to participants making healthier choices surrounding drinking and sexual health.
美国印第安(AI)女性由于酗酒障碍(AUD)和危险饮酒的高发率而面临酒精暴露性妊娠(AEP)的风险。为了解决针对成年 AI 女性的简短、基于动机访谈的干预措施减少 AEP 风险的有效性,美国原住民改变高风险酒精使用和增加避孕效果研究(Native CHOICES)与北平原部落社区合作实施。在完成六个月的基线后数据收集后,部分参与者进行了定性访谈,分享了他们的观点。这些访谈征求了参与者对 Native CHOICES 干预措施及其满意度、可及性、可接受性和可持续性的看法。参与者对 Native CHOICES 感到非常满意,认为该干预措施帮助他们了解了 AEP 预防和目标设定,学到了宝贵的经验,相信 Native CHOICES 将受到社区其他女性的欢迎,应该继续下去。参与者还分享了 COVID-19 大流行如何影响他们关于饮酒和避孕的选择。研究结果表明,AI 女性对 Native CHOICES 的接受度和接受度很高。访谈结果展示了 Native CHOICES 的有效性,以及它如何促使参与者在饮酒和性健康方面做出更健康的选择。
