Brief Summary:
The Randomized Control Trial for Innovating Stress-related eHealth (RISE) Study tests the hypotheses that a highly promising digital therapeutic (RISE Guide) targeting anxiety sensitivity (AS) will be acceptable to women sexual assault survivors; reduce survivors' anxiety sensitivity, and, in turn, posttraumatic stress.
If successful, RISE Guide could be provided at no cost to all women who present to US emergency departments for emergency care after sexual assault.
Detailed Description:
The RISE Study plans to recruit up to 60 women (natal and self-identifying) who present for Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) care within 72 hours of experiencing sexual assault. Willing participants will complete enrollment procedures (i.e., consent forms and initial survey) during this same, initial SANE care visit.
All enrolled participants will complete 4/day ecological momentary assessments (EMAs; day 1 through day 49) and complete a follow-up assessment at week 1. More information on EMA and week 1 assessment content is available in the "Outcome Measurements" section of this listing.
Following their week 1 survey, all participants will be randomized into either the active (RISE Guide) or control (Breathe2Relax app) condition. Participants will receive a link to their assigned intervention. Participants in the active condition will additionally begin receiving ecological momentary interventions (EMIs) at the end of their ecological momentary assessments, which consist of personalized feedback based on symptoms reported during EMAs.
All participants will receive an Empatica wristband in the mail. Participants will wear the wristband week 1 through week 7 and press a button on the wristband's interface whenever they experience internal (e.g. thought) or external (e.g. seeing the assailant in public) trauma reminders. The wristband will collect continuous data on participants' heart rate, temperature, and perspiration, which will be used as measurements of stress reactivity.
All participants will complete further follow-up assessments at week 7, month 6, and month 12.\* More information on each follow-up assessment's content is available in the "Outcome Measurements" section of this listing.
\*The month 12 follow-up assessment was removed via an IRB modification approved on December 14, 2022. Participants enrolled after December 14, 2022 will not complete this timepoint.
