Patient-Centered Trauma Treatment, i.e., treatment delivered by peers with lived-experience,
has the potential to increase access to trauma treatment in underserved communities. This
could positively impact the lives of millions of people as 70% of adults in the U.S have
experienced a traumatic event and the consequences of trauma are devastating and far
reaching, including chronic and comorbid physical and mental health problems. The most known
consequences of trauma include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use
disorders (SUDs). Seeking Safety (SS) is the most effective evidenced-based treatment for
co-occurring trauma, PTSD and SUDs. While no specific degree or experience level is required
to conduct SS, all the evidence comes from studies using trained clinicians to implement the
treatment, including social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists. However, these
research findings do not generalize to underserved communities that lack mental health
professionals. Innovative approaches to treatment, such as peer-delivered services, are
required to meet the demand for care in underserved areas. While the benefits of
peer-delivered services have been well-documented in many areas, the value of peers in the
provision of trauma-treatment is unknown. A theoretical basis supports the potential for
peer-delivered trauma-treatment to be effective in addition to the strong therapist-patient
bond, (i.e. therapeutic alliance (TA), which is an important predictor of treatment outcome
and a typical result of peer-patient relationships.
Our research question is whether there is a difference between peer-led SS (PL-SS) groups and
clinician-led SS (CL-SS) groups in improving the lives of people with trauma, PTSD and SUDs?
The investigators have three specific aims:
1. Determine the effectiveness of PL-SS groups compared to CL-SS groups in decreasing
substance use and PTSD symptoms and improving coping skills, overall mental health and
physical health. Hypothesis: PL-SS compared to CL-SS groups will be as effective in
improving outcomes.
2. Compare levels of TA among PL-SS and CL-SS groups and examine the impact of TA on
outcomes.Hypotheses: Levels of TA will be higher and will play more of a role in
impacting outcomes in the PL-SS compared to CL-SS groups.
3. Determine if the standard Seeking Safety Instructor Training (SS-IT) is adequate for
peers. Hypothesis: Peers will identify topics that will enhance the SS-IT.

Other | Change in Overall Mental Health | Overall mental health and physical health will be assessed by the subscales of the SF-36 (short form 36). The SF-36 questions measure functional health and well-being from the patient's point of view. It is a practical, reliable, and valid measure of mental and physical health that can be completed in five to 10 minutes. The SF-36 has proven useful in differentiating the health benefits produced by different treatments. The Component Summary Scores range from 0% to 100% with higher scores indicative of higher functioning | baseline, 3 months | |
Other | Change in Overall Physical Health | Overall mental health and physical health will be assessed by the subscales of the SF-36 (short form 36). The SF-36 questions measure functional health and well-being from the patient's point of view. It is a practical, reliable, and valid measure of mental and physical health that can be completed in five to 10 minutes. The Component Summary Scores range from 0% to 100% with higher scores indicative of higher functioning | baseline, 3-Month | |
Primary | Change in Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms | PTSD Symptoms will be measured by the post-traumatic symptom checklist - civilian version. Responses are summed to yield a total severity score, with the full range for total scores being 17 to 85 (higher scores mean higher severity). | baseline, 3 months | |
Primary | Change in Coping Skills | The Coping Scale will be used to assess coping skills. The Coping Scale directly assesses the degree to which participants report using 17 specific coping skills from SS, scaled from 0 (not at all) to 5 (extremely). This scale was selected as it is the most widely used measure of coping in the SS literature. As a result we will be able to directly compare our findings to other studies. Higher scores indicate greater frequency of use of coping skills with the range of total scores being 0 to 90 | baseline, 3 months | |
Secondary | Change in Substance Use - Alcohol Use | Drug and alcohol problem severity will be assessed using the drug and alcohol subscales of the Addiction Severity Index (ASI). Items assess frequency of drug and alcohol use and abuse within the past 30 days, how bothered the individual is by his/her drug or alcohol problems, and the importance of treatment. Higher composite scores indicate more severe problems. The ASI questions focus on two distinct time periods: the past 30 days and lifetime. A number of studies have confirmed the reliability and validity of the ASI. | baseline, 3 months | |
