What is it about?
To make sure an intervention is as effective as possible in a minority population, it needs to be culturally congruent. This paper describes how we modified an intervention to lower risky drinking among women who are able to get pregnant for use within a specific Native American community and what we found.

Why is it important?
This paper may help other groups ensure that interventions they are creating or implementing are meaningful and effective. In addition, our findings may, at least in part, be relevant to other American Indian communities.
Perspectives
There are two crucial aspects of this research that may not be explicitly stated: the necessity of having community members involved in all aspects of the endeavor and the continuing resonance of historical trauma.
