NCT ID NCT07682441
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests a behavioral program called CBITS-RTM, adapted for teens in juvenile detention. The program combines group and individual therapy to address post-traumatic stress and includes a module on racial trauma. Researchers want to see if it reduces PTSD symptoms and lowers the risk of substance use after the teens are released.

What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a practical way to reduce PTSD and substance use in a high-risk, underserved youth population.
