What this trial studies

This is a feasibility and acceptability evaluation of the group-based "Take Your Sexuality Back" psychoeducational intervention for adults with a history of sexual trauma. Participants will take part in the group program and complete quantitative outcome measures to explore potential efficacy signals. After the intervention, researchers will conduct in-depth qualitative interviews to capture participants' experiences and identify needed modifications. The results will be used to refine the intervention and plan a larger randomized controlled trial and possible implementation in clinical services.
