Completion Date

Summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate a trauma informed digital multicomponent intervention design to improve health and safety outcomes for women with lifetime exposures to violence and co-occurring PTSD and/or depression symptoms
Detailed Description
Individuals with cumulative exposures to interpersonal violence are at high risk for co-occurring mental and physical health problems (e.g., PTSD, HIV/STI) and safety issues such as living in unsafe households or being in unsafe relationships. The proposed research will test the efficacy of Being Safe, Healthy, and Positively Empowered (BSHAPE), an intervention designed to comprehensively assess cumulative exposures to violence, current safety needs, and includes components to reduce the impact of trauma such as poor mental health, HIV/STI risk, and to promote health through knowledge building, skill building, and stress reduction practices.
