First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is creating and testing a short, online therapy program for LGBTQ+ people who have experienced trauma and drink alcohol. In the first phase, participants share their thoughts to make the program more helpful and welcoming. In the second phase, some participants can try the program for free with therapists who understand LGBTQ+ issues. The goal is to reduce PTSD symptoms and harmful drinking.
