ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying two types of support for women who have experienced sexual assault. The goal is to see if a short video shown during medical care and text messages sent afterward can help prevent problems like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and misuse of opioid medications. The trial is specifically aimed at women aged 18 and older who have recently received care from a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) but are not facing severe health issues or incarceration.
To participate, you need to be an adult woman who can read and respond to questions in English and has received a SANE exam within the past week. If you join, you will watch a video during your medical care and receive text messages for a month after your assault. These resources are designed to help you cope with your experience and reduce the risk of developing PTSD or misusing medications. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and your involvement could contribute to important research that helps other survivors like you.
