TAP CARE GP study

Overview

This qualitative study aimed to answer two questions: (1) To what extent do existing organisation policies, processes and practices align with the principles of a trauma-informed approach – safety, choice, trust, collaboration, empowerment? (2) What are the organisational and wider system factors that can support or constrain the implementation of trauma-informed approaches in general practice?
The dataset includes sociodemographic characteristics and anonymised transcripts of semi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals and patients recruited from general practices. Study documentation includes: protocol, participant information sheets, consent forms, interview topic guides.​
