This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $711,000 to Kaiser Foundation Hospitals to develop and assess the feasibility and efficacy of a mobile health (mHealth) intervention for young adult women affected by sex trafficking.
The goal is to adapt an existing mHealth intervention to reduce substance use and HIV risk behaviors among this population. The project will utilize qualitative and ecological momentary assessment methods to understand the needs, resources, and determinants that contribute to HIV risk and substance use. This information will guide the development of the new STRONG mHealth intervention, which will include resource and just-in-time adaptive components. A pilot randomized controlled trial will then evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of STRONG on HIV risk, substance use, and service engagement. The findings will inform a future full-scale randomized trial to further test the intervention's effects. This work aims to lay the groundwork for future nationwide implementation of the mHealth intervention to support sex trafficking victims.
