Brief summary

This study is designed to examine three treatment conditions for traumatized youth: Cue-Centered Treatment (CCT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Treatment as Usual (TAU) to determine which treatment works most effectively for which youth. The investigators would like to determine feasibility of training on the treatment interventions. In addition, this study aims to inform development of systems of care for chronically traumatized youth. The investigators hope to determine whether 1) TF-CBT and CCT will have better outcomes than TAU, 2) Child characteristics predict better outcome in either TF-CBT or CCT and to identify which phases of treatment are most effective, and 3) Imaging findings will be predictors of improved outcome. This research is important because while there are many existing trauma interventions for youth, little is known about what is most essential in those interventions. This study will shed light on what components of treatment are most effective. Furthermore, there are minimal guidelines on how to select the most appropriate intervention for a particular child. This study will contribute to that knowledge by informing which interventions are suited best for which youth.

Detailed description

The children will be referred from Stanford Youth Solutions and University of California, San Francisco. Caregivers will undergo a telephone screening according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Written consent for participation will be obtained from participants, parents and/or legal guardians. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment conditions: TF-CBT, CCT, or TAU. Assessments will be administered at 4 time points: 1) pre-treatment, 2) mid-therapy, 3) post-treatment, and 4) three month follow-up. A medical/developmental history form will be completed only pre-treatment. The UCLA PTSD Reaction Index (PTSD-RI) parent and child versions will be used to assess exposure to traumatic events and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Given that trauma has high comorbidity with depression and anxiety disorders these symptoms will be assessed using the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC) and Children's Depression Inventory (CDI). Executive functioning will be assessed by both child and parent report using the Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF). In addition, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRs) will be conducted at each of these time points to assess tasks of working memory, response inhibition, and facial recognition. The investigators will be using the NIRScout which is a portable NIRS recording unit. NIRS technology uses specific wavelengths of light, introduced at the scalp, to enable the noninvasive measurement of changes in the relative ratios of deoxygenated hemoglobin (deoxy-Hb) and oxygenated hemoglobin (oxy-Hb) in the capillary beds during brain activity.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALCue-Centered Treatment (CCT)

Identify stress reactions and develop coping skills to deal with them independently. Helps address ongoing traumatic stressors.

BEHAVIORALTrauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT)

Identifies negative cognitive/emotional patterns and helps re-frame them. Uses active support from guardians and focuses on emotional and cognitive conditioning. Focuses on discrete past incidents.

BEHAVIORALTreatment as Usual

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in UCLA Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Reaction Index for DSM 5 (Child Self-report)Baseline and month 3 (end of treatment)The UCLA PTSD Reaction Index for DSM 5 is a 31 item self-report measure with child and caregiver versions. The total severity score ranging from 0-80 is obtained by summing the four symptom category sub-scales (criteria B, C, D, & E). A higher score corresponds to greater PTSD severity. The items map onto the DSM 5 criteria for PTSD as well as assessing for dissociative subtype.
Change From Baseline in UCLA Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Reaction Index for DSM 5 (Parent Report)Baseline and month 3 (end of treatment)The UCLA PTSD Reaction Index for DSM 5 is a 31 item self-report measure with child and caregiver versions. Scores range from 0 to 80 (higher score indicates more sever PTSD symptoms). The items map onto the DSM-V criteria for PTSD as well as assessing for dissociative subtype.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Children's Depression Inventory (CDI 2)Baseline and month 3 (end of treatment)The CDI 2 is a 28 item self-report measure that assesses depressive symptoms in the past two weeks. Each item is scored from 0-2 and all items are summed to obtain the total score (total score range: 0-54; a score of 19 or higher is suggestive of clinical depression). The survey contains questions related to negative mood, negative self-esteem, interpersonal problems, anhedonia, and ineffectiveness.
Change From Baseline in Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC 2)Baseline and month 3 (end of treatment)The MASC 2 is a 50 item self-report measure assessing anxiety in the following sub-scales: separation anxiety/phobias, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, OCD, physical symptoms and harm avoidance. The total raw score is obtained by summing all the sub-scales. Total raw scores range from 0-150 with higher scores indicative of more severe anxiety. The raw score gets converted into a T-score interpreted as such: 45-55 average, 56-60 slightly above average, 61-65 above average, 66-70 much above average, and score of 70 or above is considered to be indicative of clinical anxiety.
Change From Baseline in the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) (Parent Report)Baseline to month 3 (end of treatment)The BRIEF is an 86 item measure that assesses impairment in executive function with symptoms rated on a likert scale of 1 never, 2 sometimes or 3 often. There are 8 clinical sub-scales (Inhibit, Shift, Emotional Control, Initiate, Working Memory, Plan/Organize, Organization of Materials, Monitor) and two validity scales (Inconsistency and Negativity). A Global Executive Composite score is obtained by summing all 8 clinical sub-scales. The Global Executive Composite ranges from 0-258 with higher scores indicating greater impairment in executive functions. The Global Executive Composite gets converted to a T-score with T-scores of 65 or above considered in the clinical range.
