Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The PI developed the Image Narrative Intervention (INI) based on her research using visual images in which she found that visual images and narratives support trauma survivors in narrating their experiences and in meaning making. The proposed study is the first study to test the therapeutic effect of the INI program. We propose to assess, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the feasibility and preliminary effect of the INI through a pilot randomized control trial (RCT) design with a wait list control.
