Trauma-Focused Intervention With Women Experiencing Homelessness
Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 1
Conditions studied: Psychological Trauma, Trauma and Stress Related Disorders, Substance-Related Disorders, Substance Use, Substance Use Disorders
In brief
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.
