Author(s) | Origin | Study Type | Sample (N) | Methods | Setting | Summary |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Amwiine et al. (2021) [49] | Uganda | Descriptive cross-sectional study qualitative design | 32 females | Interviews | Kyangyenyi health center III and Kigarama health center III in Sheema district, southwestern Uganda | After assessing the knowledge of participants for trauma-informed services (TIS), the participants’ attitudes towards TIS, and different factors associated with the utilization of TIS, it was concluded that there was a knowledge gap about TIS and that sensitization needs to be done about this service |
Catabay et al. (2019) [50] | USA | Quantitative, cross-sectional study | 161 women | Self-report surveys | Community Based | Black women ages 18–44 with a history of sexual violence reported high levels of perceived stress, which were directly linked to symptoms of depression and anxiety. The presence of strong social support and personal resilience helped lessen the impact of stress on their mental health. Women with more support and higher resilience had better overall outcomes |
Chang et al. (2023) [51] | USA | Mixed Methods | 21 cisgender females | Quantitative surveys, Qualitative interviews | Community-based | Participants showed a decrease in trauma symptoms and increased confidence in managing their health and employment goals. Engagement in both HIV care and vocational services improved |
Decker et al. (2025) [31] | USA | Qualitative | 20 adults (15 Caucasian, 2 African American, 3 biracial, 2 AA/Caucasian, 1 Caucasian/Hispanic) | Semi-structured interviews | Recruited on social media (Facebook and Instagram) to take part in virtual interviews | Community-based organizations are important to address the health and support needs of survivors of sexual violence, and there are opportunities for areas of improvement in these organizations |
Kaur et al. (2025) [52] | USA | Qualitative | 12 Black women | Interviews | Community-based interviews | The study highlighted that childhood sexual abuse and intimate partner violence, significantly influences substance use behaviors among Black women. Additionally, social determinants of health, such as economic instability and access to healthcare, were found to play a crucial role in shaping health outcomes and coping mechanisms |
Myers et al. (2019) [53] | South Africa | Mixed methods | 60 | Single-arm feasibility test and interviews via a group-based intervention | Community-based interviews | Participants reported reductions in substance use (methamphetamine, cannabis, and methaqualone), sexual risk behaviors (fewer sexual partners and less condomless sex), and symptoms of trauma-related mental health concerns, including depression, PTSD, and psychological distress |
Pegram & Abbey (2019) [54] | USA (suburban and semi-rural communities in southeastern Michigan) | Quantitative study | 221 participants (121 African American and 100 Caucasian women) | Standardized self-report measures | In-person interviews in various settings (e.g., participants’ homes, restaurants, coffee shops) | Examines racial differences in psychological and physical health outcomes among sexual assault survivors and highlights the need for racially responsive trauma-informed care |
Ricks et al. (2023) [55] | USA | Mixed Methods | 138 Black trans women | Interviews | In-person structured interviews | Black transgender women in the study reported high rates of childhood sexual abuse and intimate partner violence. Social gender affirmation was associated with improved mental health outcomes, but these benefits were weakened by recent or lifetime experiences of IPV |
Samuel (2024) [56] | USA | Mixed methods | 98 Black women | Rating scales and interviews | Online | Explores Black women’s experiences of sexual trauma and healing and emphasizes the role of racialized stressors and culturally specific coping strategies |
Sherman et al. (2023) [57] | USA | Analyzation of cross-sectional data from a retrospective cohort study | 236 Black women | Assisted self-interview | Recruited from STD clinics | Explores the exacerbation of mental health disorders associated with sexual victimization amongst black women |
Sikkema et al. (2018) [58] | Cape Town, South Africa | Pilot clinical trial | 64 women | Psychological intervention sessions | Primary health care clinic | Evaluated the feasibility of a coping intervention for HIV infected women with sexual abuse histories, preliminary findings show potential to reduce PTSD symptoms and increase ART adherence motivation |
Stockman et al. (2023) [59] | USA | Pilot randomized control trial | 80 Black women | LinkPositively intervention (mobile app) | In-person and online | Evaluated the feasibility of LinkPositively, a trauma-informed, tech-based HIV care intervention for Black women affected by interpersonal violence; found high acceptability and preliminary improvements in care engagement and treatment adherence |
Ullman & Lorenz (2020) [60] | USA | Mixed methods | 836 African American women | Standardized self-report measures and structured interviews | Surveys distributed via mail; interviews conducted in-person | Explored mental health help-seeking among African American sexual assault survivors, identifying key barriers including stigma, mistrust, and provider bias, and highlighting the importance of culturally sensitive care |
Willie et al. (2023) [36] | USA | Qualitative | 44 (37 Black women participants and 7 clinical staff members) | Semi-structured interviews | Community healthcare clinics | Identified key components for trauma-informed PrEP implementation based on perspectives from Black women and clinical staff in Mississippi; emphasized intimate partner violence (IPV) screening, staff training, and culturally relevant care |
Xu et al. (2024) [61] | USA | Cross-sectional study | 560 African American women | Standardized self-report measures administered via Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI) | Community locations (e.g., beauty salons, shopping malls) | Assessed associations between trauma history and adverse psychosocial outcomes among young African American women; found that trauma was linked to higher substance misuse, risky sexual behavior, IPV, and poor mental health |
