Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This one-year, Phase I, pilot preparatory study aims to develop a culturally relevant Facebook intervention for American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) women in Minnesota recovering from illicit opioid use. The study will consist of three phases: (1) qualitative interviews, (2) intervention content refinement and a moderator exchange (i.e., bi-directional sharing of knowledge between intervention moderators and trainers), and (3) a beta-testing period. A study-specific Community Advisory Committee (CAC) was formed whose members contributed to the study protocol and will continue to provide guidance and input on the study implementation and dissemination. At the advice of the CAC, a Native Elder woman named the study. Wiidookaage'win is an Ojibwe word that means "the place for help and time for helping," and reflects healing and community. The investigators expect the participatory approach to treatment development will result in a social media intervention with cultural relevance for Native women to maintain recovery from opioid use.
