Course overview

This study assesses the feasibility and acceptability of incorporating social network visualizations into a culturally centered motivational network intervention aimed at preventing substance use among urban Native American emerging adults. The researchers conducted focus groups and pilot workshops with participants to gather feedback on the intervention's structure and social network visualizations. The findings suggest that the integration of these visualizations into group Motivational Interviewing (MI) sessions was both feasible and acceptable, providing valuable insights into how social networks influence substance use and engagement in traditional cultural practices.
