The Trauma and Resilience-informed Inquiry for Adversity, Distress, and Strengths (TRIADS) framework emphasizes an empathetic, respectful, and equity-based approach of addressing trauma. This project 1) identifies training needs in family planning settings regarding trauma inquiry and response, and 2) evaluates whether the TRIADS framework can be effectively applied to meet these needs. Methods: We conducted an online survey of first-year family planning fellows nationally to assess baseline comfort in trauma inquiry and response. We then conducted a narrative literature review and environmental scan on trauma inquiry and response in reproductive health settings. Findings were mapped to the TRIADS framework as (1) inquiring about adversity (2) assessing signs of distress, or (3) identifying patient strengths and resilience. We summarized best clinical practices within each category and designed a case-based webinar and workshop series demonstrating the application of TRIADS in family planning for California family planning clinicians. A post-webinar online survey was conducted to assess confidence in applying the TRIADS framework to clinical practice. Results: Amo
