A Mindfulness-based Intervention for Sexual Assault Survivors

Leveraging Implementation Science to Develop a Mindfulness-Based Intervention to Reduce Alcohol Misuse and Tobacco Use Among Sexual Violence Survivors

The goal is this pilot randomized trial is to learn if intervention 1 is feasible and acceptable. A secondary aim is to learn if intervention 1 reduces alcohol misuse and tobacco use in sexual assault survivors. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Is intervention 1 feasible to implement?
• Is intervention 1 an acceptable intervention among the primary population, sexual assault survivors?
• Does intervention 1 reduce alcohol misuse and tobacco use?

Researchers will compare intervention 1 to an attention-placebo control group (e.g., online resources on healthy eating and nutrition).

Participants will:

• take online surveys at baseline, 1 month follow-up, and 3-month follow-up
• answer text-message questions at baseline and post-test
• view and engage in an educational program
