Digital Intervention Delivered Via Street Medicine to Increase HIV and Substance Use Care Among Survivors of Sex Trafficking

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the CONNECT program helps women with a history of sex trafficking get connected to substance use, HIV/STI, and mental health services. It will also learn whether the program is practical to deliver and acceptable to participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does CONNECT increase participants' engagement in substance use treatment (such as starting medication for opioid use disorder or therapy for alcohol use), HIV and STI prevention and treatment services (such as starting PrEP or getting tested for STIs), and mental health treatment (such as treatment for PTSD)? Is CONNECT feasible and acceptable for women with a history of sex trafficking? Researchers will compare CONNECT to usual care to see if CONNECT increases engagement in these health services. The program will be delivered in partnership with a Street Medicine team that provides care directly to unhoused women, with support from a trained care navigator. Participants will: Complete the CONNECT program or receive usual care Work 1:1 with a care navigator who helps with referrals to substance use, HIV/STI, and mental health services (CONNECT group) Complete assessments at the start of the study and at a 2-month follow-up Answer questions about their substance use, health behaviors, mental health, and use of health services
