Summary
This study tested a culturally adapted mobile health program called Mobile CHOICES to help urban American Indian and Alaska Native young women (ages 16-20) avoid drinking alcohol during pregnancy. The goal was to reduce the risk of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, which cause lifelong disabilities. Researchers recruited 439 participants through social media and measured whether they reduced alcohol use and used effective contraception.
