# Qungasvik (Toolbox): Prevention of Alcohol/Suicide Risk in Alaska Native Youth

> **NIH NIH R01** · UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA FAIRBANKS · 2020 · $235,846

## Abstract

The proposal is in response to NOT-OD-20-087 Guidance for NIH-funded Clinical Trials and
Human Subjects Studies Affected by COVID-19, and applied for using PA-18-591
Administrative Supplements to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements (Parent Admin
Supp Clinical Trial Optional), through parent award R01AA023754 Qungasvik (Toolbox):
Prevention of Alcohol/Suicide Risk in Alaska Native Youth, funded through PAR-14-620:
Interventions for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention in Native American Populations.
Due to the hardship created by the novel SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) public health emergency
our clinical trial, taking place in remote and isolated Alaska Native communities, is currently
shutdown. This administrative supplement would allow to continue data collection, re-startup
intervention implementation in the final Community 5, and provide ongoing supervision and
fidelity assessment in the 4 currently active SAMHSA funded intervention trial communities.
While intervention in four active intervention communities is now funded by 4 SAMSHA Native
Connections grants, the final Community 5 intervention is original to the parent grant and not the
previous administrative supplement, and is funded by NIAAA. Further, we are not currently able
to suspend research staff who are essential. These staff are engaged in active supervision of
the 4 currently active during COVID suicide/alcohol risk preventative interventions to research
standards with fidelity assessment. These staff are engaged in the continuing research process
with 4 years of data collected prior to data collection shut down. Supplemental funding will allow
us to accomplish the following objectives: 1) fully implement the intervention in the final NIAAA
R01 trial community, with funding coming from the original parent grant, where startup was
interrupted by the public health emergency; 2) complete data collection across all trial
communities interrupted by the pandemic and; 3) analyze the completed prevention trial
outcomes.
