Summary
This study tests whether a short video and a 3-week text messaging program can help people who have recently experienced sexual assault. The goal is to see if these tools can reduce mental health problems like PTSD and prevent misuse of opioids and other substances. About 394 adults who receive a medical exam after an assault will take part.
