| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Themes identified using feminist, transgender and intersectionality theories will be measured in interview transcripts using thematic analysis including, but not limited to, the following: What are the aetiological factors that can lead women to develop a SUD? What kinds of consequences do women with SUD face as a result of their substance use? What are women’s experiences of seeking and accessing treatment and support for their SUD? What are women’s experiences of engaging with BFO when they are working on their recovery from SUD? How do women feel about their future when they are working on their recovery from SUD (and rehabilitation from offending)? | — |
