Abstract
This study evaluated the acceptability and feasibility of a mindfulness-based intervention for trauma-exposed, homeless women. Focus group (N=4) transcripts were coded using a combination of in-vivo and open-coding techniques. Three themes encapsulating coping mechanisms, triggers and difficulties, and program suggestions were identified. Results informed clinical trial design and administration.
