Brief Summary:
Peer support is historically prominent for substance use disorder SUD such as the world-wide model of Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12-step groups Yet for trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder PTSD there have been few attempts at peer help A major challenge of trauma peer groups is that they usually focus on telling the story of members trauma histories which can be overly triggering and distressing Seeking Safety offers an excellent choice for peer-led care It is an evidence-based and is the most widely adopted model for SUDPTD It is present-focused cognitive-behavioral and provides psychoeducation and coping skills to help clients attain greater safety in their lives It has been successfully implemented in peer-led format for many years and has been studied in various trials including a recent randomized controlled trial RCT comparing peer versus professional delivery with positive results In Phase 1 we developed a beta version of a mobile app for peer-led Seeking Safety PLSS In Phase 2 we will enhance the app features and content and also conduct an RCT in a sample of adults with current SUDPTSD to compare the Peer Safety app condition to a control app
Detailed Description:
Peers are increasingly recognized as an important asset in healthcare Peer support is historically most prominent for substance use disorder SUD such as the world-wide model of Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12-step groups Yet for trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder PTSD there have been few attempts at peer help A major challenge of trauma peer groups is that they usually focus on telling the story of members trauma histories which can be overly triggering and distressing Seeking Safety offers an excellent choice for peer-led care It is an evidence-based and is the most widely adopted model for SUDPTD It is present-focused cognitive-behavioral and provides psychoeducation and coping skills to help clients attain greater safety in their lives-- safety from unsafe behavior toward themselves and others substance use and trauma symptoms It has been successfully implemented in peer-led format for many years and has been studied in various trials including a recent randomized controlled trial RCT comparing peer versus professional delivery with positive results In Phase 1 we developed a beta version of a mobile app for peer-led Seeking Safety PLSS The Peer Safety PS app was based on extensive input from end users and was evaluated in a feasibility study We found strong positive results in Phase 1 and are now conducting a Phase 2 project to continue this work In Phase 2 we are enhancing the app features and content and will also conduct an RCT in a sample of adults with current SUDPTSD to compare the PS app condition to a control app They will have 12 weeks to use the app and participate in weekly online PLSS and will be assessed pre post and at 3-month followup using validated instruments We will also measure app usage and satisfaction The primary outcomes are substance use and trauma symptoms Our public health goal is to leverage technology to create PLSS in an online environment that would support recovery powered by highly engaging content and delivery The PS app could address the need for access in remote locations for anonymous help and for convenient low-cost help delivered by people who share their experiences as peers Even for those who do attend in-person modalities the app can provide additional support and unique features This project proposes a novel technology solution to provide care for an important population-- people with SUDPTSD
