The purpose of this project is to implement a pilot study to investigate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a peer support specialist delivered violence prevention program for women in substance use treatment. The program entails a posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) screening, resource referral, and two session interpersonal violence prevention protocol for 60 participants. In this single arm trial, women are recruited from three substance use treatment facilities. Participants complete baseline, post-intervention, one-month, and three-month follow-up assessments. Self-report surveys assess trauma exposure, knowledge and behaviors related to interpersonal violence, and intervention engagement.
The majority of women entering substance use treatment have a trauma history, placing them at risk for revictimization and substance use relapse. The purpose of this project is to implement a pilot study to investigate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a peer support specialist-delivered violence prevention program for women in substance use treatment. The program entails a posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) screening, trauma-focused resource referral, and two session interpersonal violence prevention protocol for 60 participants. In this single arm trial, women are recruited from three substance use treatment facilities. Participants complete baseline, post-intervention, one-month, and three-month follow-up assessments. Self-report surveys assess demographics, trauma and sexual assault experiences, knowledge and attitudes towards sexual and intimate partner violence, protective behavioral strategies, and intervention satisfaction and engagement.

Scores range from 3 to 15, with higher scores indicating greater agreement with violence-supportive norms.

| Dating Behavior Survey | This self-report scale consists of 17 items that assess perceived likelihood of engaging in protective behavioral strategies while dating. Scores range from 17 to 102, with higher scores indicating greater likelihood of engaging in protective behavioral strategies.

This self-report scale consists of 16 items assessing perceived likelihood of engaging in various coping strategies to resist sexual aggression. Scores range from 16 to 96, with higher scores indicating higher perceived likelihood of resistance. (Macy, Nurius, & Norris, 2007).
| Participants complete this measure at baseline, post intervention (2 weeks), 1 month follow-up (6 weeks), and 3 month follow-up (18 weeks). |
| Barriers to Resistance | This self-report scale consists of 13 items assessing perceived barriers to resisting sexual aggression. Scores range from 13 to 52, with higher scores indicating higher perceived barriers to resistance (Norris, Nurius, & Dimeff, 1996). | Participants complete this measure at baseline, post intervention (2 weeks), 1 month follow-up (6 weeks), and 3 month follow-up (18 weeks). |
| Knowledge and Use of Resources | This self-report scale assesses 1) how aware participants are of various community resources and 2) whether resources have been accessed in the past month. The first 13 item awareness subscale results in total scores ranging from 13 to 65, with higher scores indicating higher levels of awareness. The second subscale results in scores ranging from 0 to 13, with higher scores indicating more resources accessed. | Participants complete this measure at baseline, post intervention (2 weeks), 1 month follow-up (6 weeks), and 3 month follow-up (18 weeks). |
| PC-PTSD-5 | This self-report survey assesses past month posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms with 5 screener items. Scores range from 0 to 5, with higher scores inidicating higher likelihood of meeting criteria for PTSD. | Participants complete this measure at baseline, post intervention (2 weeks), 1 month follow-up (6 weeks), and 3 month follow-up (18 weeks). |
| PHQ-2 (Depression) | This self-report survey consists of two depression screener items, with scores ranging from 0 to 6. Higher scores indicate higher likelihood of meeting criteria for major depressive episode over the last two weeks. | Participants complete this measure at baseline, post intervention (2 weeks), 1 month follow-up (6 weeks), and 3 month follow-up (18 weeks). |
| CAGE-AID (Substance Use) | This self-report inventory assesses past three month symptoms of substance use disorders with 4 items. Scores range from 0 to 4, with higher scores indicating higher likelihood of meeting criteria for a current substance use disorder. | Participants complete this measure at baseline, post intervention (2 weeks), 1 month follow-up (6 weeks), and 3 month follow-up (18 weeks). |
