Abstract
Native WYSE CHOICES adapted an Alcohol Exposed Pregnancy (AEP) prevention curriculum for mobile health delivery for young urban American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) women. This qualitative study explored the relevance of culture in adapting a health intervention with a national sample of urban AIAN youth. In total, the team conducted 29 interviews across three iterative rounds. Participants expressed interest in receiving culturally informed health interventions, were open to cultural elements from other AIAN tribes, and highlighted the importance of culture in their lives. The study underscores why community voices are central in tailoring health interventions for this population.
