Summary

The goal of the BSHAPE study is to test a trauma informed, culturally tailored, multicomponent program entitled BSHAPE (Being Safe, Healthy, And Positively Empowered) for immigrant survivors of cumulative trauma.

Detailed description

The central hypothesis is that the BSHAPE intervention will promote immigrant women's safety and health (e.g..,improved mental health, reduced physiological impact of stress and health inequities (especially reproductive-sexual health and HIV)), thus leading to overall empowerment. The study will: 1. Conduct a feasibility and acceptability evaluation of the BSHAPE intervention. 2. Test the BSHAPE intervention for large scale implementation in community-based clinics and programs serving immigrant women. The impact of BSHAPE will be evaluated in comparison to usual care in promoting safety and health outcomes among immigrant women with cumulative trauma experiences at post-intervention and at 6 and 12 months follow up.
