Summary

This trial aims to create and test a short video and text messaging intervention for survivors of sexual assault. The goal is to prevent the development or worsening of PTSD and opioid misuse among these individuals.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for survivors of sexual assault who are at risk of developing or worsening PTSD and opioid misuse. Participants should be receiving care from a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE).
What is being tested?
The study tests two interventions: a brief video program called STAR delivered during SANE care, and TextSTAR, a text messaging program provided after the assault to help prevent PTSD and opioid misuse.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational videos and text messages rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional distress due to the sensitive nature of the content.

6Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Video, Below ThresholdExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants in this condition will receive the STAR intervention video and will be below threshold on PTSD and opioid misuse at 1 week and will not be randomized to receive further intervention.
Group II: Video, Above Threshold, TextExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants in this condition will receive the STAR intervention video and those who are above threshold on PTSD or opioid misuse at 1 week will be randomized to receive the textSTAR intervention.
Group III: Video, Above Threshold, No TextExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants in this condition will receive the STAR intervention video and those who are above threshold on PTSD or opioid misuse at 1 week will be randomized to not receive textSTAR.
Group IV: No Video, Above Threshold, TextExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants in this condition will not receive the STAR intervention video and those who are above threshold on PTSD or opioid misuse at 1 week will be randomized to receive the textSTAR intervention.
