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.
