Article Synopsis
- This study examines the effects of combining behavioral health and trauma services on the quality of life (QOL) of 136 Latinas with a history of drug use in Puerto Rico.
- Participants showed statistically significant improvements in physical, psychological, social, and environmental QOL after six months of intervention, despite high rates of unemployment and severe substance use disorders.
- The findings indicate that Latinas who experienced trauma had lower QOL scores, highlighting the need for targeted support for this population to address their physical and mental health challenges.
