Summary
This trial will study how to improve the health of homeless women with PTSD+SUD who often suffer with severe illness and early death.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 18 who are currently or recently homeless, have problematic substance use, and suffer from trauma-related distress. They must have experienced a traumatic event and show signs of PTSD. Women can't join if they don't meet these specific conditions.
What is being tested?
The study tests Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET+) immediately versus after a waiting period for women with PTSD and substance use disorders. It aims to see how effective NET+ is in reducing the health consequences of untreated trauma among homeless women.
What are the potential side effects?
While the description doesn’t specify side effects, psychological therapies like NET+ may sometimes cause temporary increases in distress as individuals confront traumatic memories during treatment.
