First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This early study tests a mobile health program called WINGS+++ for women who use opioids and have experienced intimate partner violence. The program includes three sessions on a tablet or smartphone with videos, exercises, and a peer navigator to help connect to services. Researchers will check if it reduces drug use and helps women get treatment for substance use, trauma, and violence.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- WINGS+++ mobile health program (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a scalable way to help women with opioid use disorder and trauma get connected to treatment and reduce drug use.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early pre-pilot with only 7 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program may not effectively reduce drug use or link women to services.
