Mitigating PTSD-CUD After Sexual Assault
This study is testing two digital tools to help women who have experienced sexual assault. It aims to see if these tools can prevent posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and cannabis use disorder (CUD). One tool is called RISE Guide, a behavioral program on your smartphone that helps with anxiety. The other is a relaxation app called "Breathe2Relax" that teaches breathing exercises. The study is looking for women aged 18 and older who have recently experienced sexual assault (within 72 hours), speak English, have a smartphone, and use cannabis at least once a week. Success will be measured by changes in anxiety sensitivity (fear of anxious feelings) after 6 weeks. The current status of the study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 68 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 68 women.
- What's involved
- Participants will use a smartphone app (either RISE Guide or Breathe2Relax) for three weeks after the assault. They will also receive reminders to use the intervention.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
