Official title
A Technology Solution for Peer-led Seeking Safety
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
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 SUD/PTD. 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 SUD/PTSD to compare the Peer Safety app condition to a control app.
