Evaluation of "Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools" (CBITS) in child welfare programs in Germany: study protocol of a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Children and adolescents growing up in child welfare institutions have been frequently exposed to traumatic events and psychosocial stress and show elevated rates of mental disorders. Yet, there is a lack of empirically supported treatments to provide adequate mental health care for children in care suffering from trauma-related mental disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. The Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS) is an evaluated trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral group intervention, which has proven to be effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety for traumatized children in group settings. The trial will evaluate the effectiveness of the CBITS intervention as an outreach treatmen
