This research aims to evaluate a peer support specialist-delivered violence prevention program for women in substance use treatment who often have trauma histories that increase their risk of revictimization and relapse. The study focuses on the feasibility and preliminary effects of a program that includes posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) screening, trauma-focused resource referrals, and a two-session interpersonal violence prevention protocol for 60 women. Participants receive a brief PTSD screening and, if positive, are connected to trauma-focused resources. They then attend two one-hour sessions led by peer support specialists: the first covers PTSD screening and education on interpersonal violence including consent and intimate partner violence, and the second focuses on protective behavioral strategies for violence prevention. Women complete assessments at baseline, immediately after the intervention, one month, and three months later. These include self-report surveys on trauma exposure, attitudes toward violence, coping strategies, and resource use. Researchers measure outcomes such as acceptance of rape myths, dating violence attitudes, sexual aggression coping, and substance use. The total participation spans about three months with ongoing monitoring of intervention engagement and satisfaction.
