“I need to feel safe before I can engage”: embedding trauma-informed principles in sexual and reproductive health digital technologies
The findings of this study would help produce equitable, safe, and empowering digital health technologies for all users, particularly trauma survivors. By integrating these principles, developers and healthcare providers can create tools that reduce barriers, mitigate re-traumatization risks, and promote positive health outcomes. Future research should focus on evaluating the implementation and impact of trauma-informed digital tools in diverse settings.
