Summary

This study tests a personalized version of a therapy called Stepped Care Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for children who have experienced trauma. The therapy is adapted for Latino families and involves caregivers helping their children through a step-by-step process. Researchers will enroll 30 children ages 7-12 and their parents to see if this approach reduces PTSD symptoms and improves daily functioning.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
personalized stepped care cognitive behavioral therapy (pSC-CBT-CT)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a more effective and culturally tailored therapy option for Latino children with PTSD, potentially improving access and outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The therapy may not reduce symptoms more than standard care.
