About this study
The investigators plan to develop and test a new alcohol and other drug (AOD) intervention for urban AI/AN youth, "Motivational Interviewing and Culture for Urban Native American Youth (MICUNAY)." This intervention integrates tradition-based activities and motivational interviewing (MI). The investigators will intervene at both the community and individual level. At the individual level, they will provide MICUNAY to adolescents. At the community level, they will provide discussion of AOD prevention at Community Wellness Gatherings (CWG). This work is important because they will gain an understanding of how well a tradition-based healing program that integrates MI works to prevent AOD use among urban AI/AN youth.
Read the detailed description
American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth report higher rates of alcohol and drug (AOD) use, greater frequency and intensity of AOD use, earlier first AOD use, and much higher alcohol-related mortality than other racial/ethnic groups in the U.S. Data regarding urban AIs/ANs are limited; however, one study found that at-risk AIs/AN adults in an urban setting report an earlier onset of alcohol, marijuana, methamphetamine, and other drug use compared to all other ethnic/racial groups within LA County. This proposal responds to PAR-11-346, Interventions for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention in Native American Populations, which is focused on developing, adapting, and testing the effectiveness of health promotion prevention interventions in Native American populations. The two co-PI's provide a unique blend of expertise that has resulted in the development of an innovative preliminary protocol for AI/AN youth: Motivational Interviewing and Culture for Urban Native American Youth (MICUNAY), which integrates traditional healing approaches with motivational interviewing (MI). Dickerson is an Alaska Native (Inupiaq) new investigator who worked with the AI/AN community to obtain community-based perspectives on decreasing AOD use and mental health problems. D'Amico is internationally recognized for her work focused on the development and testing of MI interventions targeting AOD use for culturally diverse adolescents across different settings. Dickerson and colleagues have demonstrated the need for culturally-appropriate interventions for AI/AN youth. His two community-based projects found that there is a lack of programs integrating tradition-based healing with evidenced based treatments (EBTs), and this was cited as a significant barrier to seeking care within urban AI/AN populations. Therefore, MICUNAY will integrate tradition-based healing with MI. It consists of 6 weekly 1-hour sessions (3 MI AOD sessions and 3 tradition activity sessions). This proposal also incorporates a multi-system intervention approach. At the individual level, the investigators will provide MICUNAY to urban AI/AN youth. At the community level, they will discuss AOD use and AOD prevention among AI/AN youth at existing Community Wellness Gatherings (CWG). The proposed 5-year study will consist of two main components: 1) A Developmental Phase in which they conduct focus groups across two clinical sites in Los Angeles and Oakland with the community to establish feasibility and sustainability of delivery, 2) A randomized controlled trial comparing youth who only attend a CWG (n=100) to youth who attend a CWG plus receive MICUNAY (n=100). The investigators will compare outcomes at 3- and 6-month follow-up to determine (a) whether clinically significant changes in AOD expectancies, perceived prevalence of peer AOD use, alcohol consumption, marijuana and other drug use, and related consequences occur; (b) whether clinically significant changes in physical, social, emotional, and functional well-being as well as spirituality and cultural identification occur, and (c) if reductions occur, estimate effect sizes for the CWG group and the CWG plus MICUNAY group. This study substantially extends work with AI/AN youth by intervening at both the community and individual level, and developing and testing an integrated tradition-based AOD MI group intervention for urban AI/AN youth.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants Who Used Alcohol From Baseline to 6 Months
For this study, we created a dichotomous indicator of whether adolescents reported any use of alcohol. This is because alcohol use rates are typically lower in younger adolescents, leading to highly skewed distributions in continuous variables.
Measured: change from baseline to 6 months
Number of Participants Who Used Marijuana From Baseline to 6 Months
For this study, we created a dichotomous indicator of whether adolescents reported any use of marijuana. This is because marijuana use rates are typically lower in younger adolescents, leading to highly skewed distributions in continuous variables.
Measured: change from baseline to 6 months
Secondary outcomes (12)
Number of Participants Who Reported Consequences of Alcohol Use
Adolescents reported on the alcohol consequences they had experienced in past three months. Consequences are based on DSM-IV criteria with 7 items for alcohol (e.g., missed school or work). For this analysis we created dichotomous indicators of whether adolescents reported any consequences from alcohol.
Measured: change from baseline to 6 months
Number of Participants Who Reported Consequences of Marijuana Use
Adolescents reported on the marijuana consequences they had experienced in past three months. Consequences are based on DSM-IV criteria with 5 items for marijuana (e.g., had difficulty concentrating). For this analysis we created dichotomous indicators of whether adolescents reported any consequences from marijuana.
Measured: change from baseline to 6 months
Change in Intentions to Use - Alcohol
Three separate items assessed whether adolescents believed they would drink any alcohol, use any marijuana, or smoke a cigarette in the next six months (1="definitely yes" to 4="definitely no").
Measured: change from baseline to 6 months
Change in Intentions to Use - Cigarettes
Three separate items assessed whether adolescents believed they would drink any alcohol, use any marijuana, or smoke a cigarette in the next six months (1="definitely yes" to 4="definitely no").
Measured: change from baseline to 6 months
Change in Intentions to Use - Marijuana
Three separate items assessed whether adolescents believed they would drink any alcohol, use any marijuana, or smoke a cigarette in the next six months (1="definitely yes" to 4="definitely no").
Measured: change from baseline to 6 months
Change in Alcohol Resistance Self-efficacy
Alcohol resistance self-efficacy (RSE) for alcohol was defined as the average of four items rated from "I would definitely use" to "I would definitely not use" based on different situations (e.g., if my best friend were using; you were bored at party; your friend gives you a drink). RSE ranged from 1 to 4; higher scores indicated greater RSE.
Measured: change from baseline to 6 months
Change in Peer Influence - Alcohol
Three separate items assessed how often adolescents spend time around teens who drink, use marijuana, or smoke cigarettes (1 = "never" to 4 = "often").
Measured: change from baseline to 6 months
Change in Peer Influence - Marijuana
Three separate items assessed how often adolescents spend time around teens who drink, use marijuana, or smoke cigarettes (1 = "never" to 4 = "often").
Measured: change from baseline to 6 months
Change in Peer Influence - Cigarettes
Three separate items assessed how often adolescents spend time around teens who drink, use marijuana, or smoke cigarettes (1 = "never" to 4 = "often").
Measured: change from baseline to 6 months
Change in Intentions to Participate in Traditional Practices
Adolescents reported how likely they were to participate in >20 different traditional practices (e.g., going to Pow Wows, prayer, playing Native hand or stick games) in the next six months (1="definitely yes" to 4="definitely no").
Measured: change from baseline to 6 months
Change in Cultural Identification
We assessed adolescents' AI/AN cultural pride and sense of belonging with the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM), which has twelve items. Respondents are asked the degree to which they agree with statements such as, "I have a clear sense of my ethnic background and what it means to me" on a scale from 1 = "strongly disagree" to 5 = "strongly agree". Given that our prior focus group work indicated that many adolescents were of mixed ethnicity, and our focus was on AI/AN identity, we modified these items to focus on AI/AN heritage (e.g., "I have clear sense of my AI/AN identity and what it means to me").
Measured: change from baseline to 6 months
Change in Spirituality/Happiness
Spirituality and happiness were measured using a subset of ten items from the 12-item Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue-Spiritual Questions instrument, or FACIT-SP 12. Adolescents reported agreement with statements such as "I find comfort in my faith or spiritual beliefs" and "I feel a sense of harmony within myself." Two items that referred specifically to chronic illness were removed from the scale as they were not relevant for this study. Response options, which ranged from 1="not at all" to 5="very much," were averaged, with negative statements reversed such that higher scores indicated greater spirituality and happiness.
Measured: change from baseline to 6 months
