Clinical Trial: Trauma-Focused Intervention With Women Experiencing Homelessness

Study Status: RECRUITING
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL




Official Title: Pragmatic, Waitlist Randomized Controlled Trial of a Trauma-Focused Intervention With Women Experiencing Homelessness

Brief Summary: Homelessness and associated traumas disproportionately affect women.
The biopsychosocial health consequences of untreated trauma are profound.
PTSD frequently co-occurs with other chronic health conditions, including substance use disorders (SUD).
Co-morbid PTSD and SUD (PTSD+SUD) is common and difficult to treat, resulting in severe morbidity and premature mortality among women experiencing homelessness.
Executing this study will help to address the disproportionate PTSD+SUD comorbidity burden, which drives health inequities in the growing population of women experiencing homelessness within and beyond Chicago.
