CPHR Researcher, Damian Chase-Begay, Receives a NIH Career Development Award in Implementation Science
Funding Spotlight
The NIH HEAL Initiative has awarded Dr. Damian Chase-Begay, core faculty in School of Public and Community Health, a K01 Career Development Award in Implementation Science.
With this funding, Dr. Chase-Begay will rigorously adapt an evidence-based substance abuse prevention intervention to incorporate traditional ceremonial practices (TCPs) and then test this intervention with urban Indigenous young adults in 猎奇重口. Aim 1 will seek to obtain community-informed guidance on the selection and adaptation of an evidence-based substance use prevention intervention, and strategies for incorporation of TCPs, through a sequential mixed-methods process. Aim 2 will seek to test the effectiveness and sustainability of the adapted EBP at five UIHO sites throughout 猎奇重口 via a hybrid type 2 implementation-effectiveness trial.
