Summary

This study tested whether Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) can reduce PTSD and depression symptoms in children aged 8 to 19 when delivered in schools. It also tested a strategy to help school clinicians adopt and stick with the therapy. The trial involved 292 participants and measured symptom changes over two years.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and a clinician support strategy (BASIS)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make evidence-based trauma therapy more widely available in schools, helping more children recover from trauma.
What could go wrong
This is a completed implementation study, not a large-scale efficacy trial. Results may not apply to all schools or students, and the therapy's success depends on clinician training and adherence.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Clinicians will be included if they (a) provide school-based services in a participating district; (b) have not previously received formal training in TF-CBT; and (c) are not actively receiving support to implement another trauma-focused intervention. Students subjects will meet TF-CBT eligibility criteria, including (a) be within the TF-CBT developmental range (ages 8 to 19), (b) have traumatic event exposure (e.g., exposure to violence), and (c) significant post-traumatic stress symptoms.
