Brief Summary:
Patient-Centered Trauma Treatment ie treatment delivered by peers with lived-experience has the potential to increase access to trauma treatment in underserved communities This could positively impact the lives of millions of people as 70 of adults in the US have experienced a traumatic event and the consequences of trauma are devastating and far reaching including chronic and comorbid physical and mental health problems The most known consequences of trauma include post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD and substance use disorders SUDs Seeking Safety SS is the most effective evidenced-based treatment for co-occurring trauma PTSD and SUDs While no specific degree or experience level is required to conduct SS all the evidence comes from studies using trained clinicians to implement the treatment including social workers psychologists and psychiatrists However these research findings do not generalize to underserved communities that lack mental health professionals Innovative approaches to treatment such as peer-delivered services are required to meet the demand for care in underserved areas While the benefits of peer-delivered services have been well-documented in many areas the value of peers in the provision of trauma-treatment is unknown A theoretical basis supports the potential for peer-delivered trauma-treatment to be effective in addition to the strong therapist-patient bond ie therapeutic alliance TA which is an important predictor of treatment outcome and a typical result of peer-patient relationships
Our research question is whether there is a difference between peer-led SS PL-SS groups and clinician-led SS CL-SS groups in improving the lives of people with trauma PTSD and SUDs
The investigators have three specific aims
1 Determine the effectiveness of PL-SS groups compared to CL-SS groups in decreasing substance use and PTSD symptoms and improving coping skills overall mental health and physical health Hypothesis PL-SS compared to CL-SS groups will be as effective in improving outcomes
2 Compare levels of TA among PL-SS and CL-SS groups and examine the impact of TA on outcomesHypotheses Levels of TA will be higher and will play more of a role in impacting outcomes in the PL-SS compared to CL-SS groups
3 Determine if the standard Seeking Safety Instructor Training SS-IT is adequate for peers Hypothesis Peers will identify topics that will enhance the SS-IT
