Digital lifeline: street medicine program aims to connect trafficking survivors with HIV and addiction care
NCT ID NCT07699484
First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial tests a digital program called CONNECT, designed to help women who have survived sex trafficking access care for HIV, substance use, and mental health. Delivered through a street medicine team that serves unhoused women, the program pairs participants with a care navigator who assists with referrals. Researchers will compare CONNECT to usual care to see if it increases engagement in treatment, and whether the program is practical and acceptable for this population.
