Summary

This study tests whether a brief, modified exposure therapy given soon after rape can prevent post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in women. About 166 women from four sexual assault centers in Norway will be randomly assigned to either the short therapy or standard care. The goal is to see if early help reduces PTSD symptoms, depression, and anxiety.
