Abstract

Alcohol-exposed pregnancies are a health issue for many American Indian communities. The goal of this manuscript is to outline how an existing alcohol-exposed pregnancy prevention program with non-pregnant women (Project CHOICES) was modified to fit the needs and norms of an American Indian community. The Oglala Sioux Tribe CHOICES Program was developed and implemented using community feedback through initial meetings, reviewing materials, gathering input into recruitment and intervention logistics, and conducting interviews to evaluate the program. The intervention was implemented and has been enrolling non-pregnant American Indian women for the past several years. While data collection is ongoing, it has shown preliminary success in changing behaviors and in impacting how the community views the prevention of alcohol-exposed pregnancies. Overall, this study highlights the potential to expand this prevention program to other sites and with other populations, such as adolescents. By the end of this article, readers will comprehend the steps necessary to replicate such a program at other tribal and rural sites.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Of the nine nonrandomized studies, two (22.22%) were rated a bias rating of 2 (serious bias).

    “Finally, two studies (22.22%) were rated a bias rating of 2 (serious bias).”

    From Culturally tailored substance use interventions for Indigenous people of North America: a systematic review (2023) · cites this paper as Hanson and Pourier, 2015

    The Methods and Results (section 3.2; page unavailable) describe an intervention with self-selected participants and follow-up, supporting its identification as a nonrandomized study. The paper does not report a serious-bias rating of 2 or assess nine studies, so it cannot substantiate those parts of the citing sentence. (LLM, conf=0.77)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • In total, two studies (11.11%) were rated a bias rating of 2 (serious bias).

    “two studies (11.11%) were rated a bias rating of 2 (serious bias) (Hanson and Pourier, 2015; van der Woerd et al., 2010).”
  • One article was a feasibility study (Hanson and Pourier, 2015) and one is a program evaluation (Wright et al., 2011).

    “It may be important to note that one article was a feasibility study (Hanson and Pourier, 2015) and one is a program evaluation (Wright et al., 2011), as these types of study designs are less appropriate for this particular quality assessment.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
