Summary

This study looks at whether taking part in a traditional Ojibwe ceremony called Gii'igoshimong can help American Indian adults cut down on substance use and improve their mental health. About 300 adults who identify as Ojibwe/Anishinaabe/Chippewa and have used substances in the past month will be randomly assigned to join the ceremony right away or wait. Researchers will track substance use, depression, anxiety, and brain activity over six months to see if the ceremony makes a difference.
