Study Arms (1)
48 Northern Plains Tribal women smokers who have experienced Intimate Partner Violence (IPV).
EXPERIMENTALThese participants will experience a culturally tailored, trauma-informed mindfulness smoking cessation intervention.
Interventions
Eight weekly in-person group sessions, each 90 minutes long. From the second half of PY01 to PY04, sessions will be performed in closed in groups of 7-10 participants (with a total of 6 groups). The curriculum is grounded in Lakota values and trauma-informed care. Each of the eight sessions will begin and end with a Lakota serenity prayer and "wazílya" (smudging of sage), and the meaning and relevance of one of the Lakota values will be discussed. Through a storytelling approach, which is central to Lakota culture, the participants will learn about their value as a Lakota woman, the role of caŋṡaṡa, the association between unresolved trauma and smoking, and the importance of Lakota mind-based and mindfulness strategies in their lives.
