‘It’s less traumatic because you’re in your own home’: exploring trauma-informed care for digital sexual health services – a secondary qualitative data analysis
This is the first known qualitative study exploring the intersection between TIC and digital sexual health interventions. Our study provides insight into how current online postal self-sampling practices facilitate the principles of TIC and which gaps remain. Future research should explore how these principles can be adapted to make digital sexual health services more trauma-informed.
