Researchers increasingly look to the intersections of violence, adverse childhood experiences, and opioid misuse as part of continued efforts to prevent their occurrence.

Recognizing the unique strengths of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities, the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control seeks feedback from parents/caregivers, elders, tribal leaders, traditional healers, and others on community-level factors that promote the primary prevention of adverse childhood experiences and opioid use among children, youth, and families. Through this formative study, JBA will support Chickasaw Health Consulting in conducting focus groups and interviews across four rural and urban AI/AN communities. Activities will address—

  • Outreach and engagement with research consultants and tribal sites
  • Instrument refinement
  • The approval process with the institutional review board, Office of Management and Budget, and local review bodies as needed
  • Recruitment, data collection, and analyses
  • Reporting and dissemination of findings
