Study Description

This study aims to provide a novel method for adapting and testing evidence-based expressive writing (EW) treatments for trauma-exposed sexual minority women (SMW) and gender diverse individuals. The investigators will (1) describe the development and components of the proposed EW treatments, (2) discuss our plan for evaluating acceptability and feasibility of the proposed study, (3) identify steps for characterizing preliminary efficacy of EW treatments in reducing PTSD symptom severity and hazardous drinking levels compared to control, and (4) highlight our strategy for preliminarily evaluating mediators and moderators of treatment efficacy.
