A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional trial tests BSHAPE, a trauma-informed digital multicomponent program, against a general wellness control to improve health and safety outcomes. It enrolls foreign-born immigrant women age 18 and older who report cumulative exposure to interpersonal violence and current PTSD and/or depression symptoms. BSHAPE combines comprehensive screening for violence and safety needs with modules for mental health symptom reduction, HIV/STI risk reduction, knowledge and skill building, and stress-reduction practices delivered digitally. Researchers will compare changes in safety, PTSD/depression symptoms, and related health risk behaviors between groups over the follow-up period.
