TL;DR: Compared to youth with other types of trauma, those with complex trauma histories had significantly higher rates of internalizing problems, posttraumatic stress, and clinical diagnoses, and differed on some demographic variables.

TL;DR: Preliminary results demonstrate that kinship and nonkinship caregivers showed significant increases in their knowledge of trauma-informed parenting and their perceived self-efficacy parenting a child who experienced trauma, as the first empirical study supporting the workshop’s effectiveness.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that implementation strategies varied considerably but that screening generally resulted in identification of high rates of trauma exposure, trauma symptoms and service referrals.

TL;DR: Investigating the linkages among child physical and sexual trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology, and treatment completion utilizing a clinical sample drawn from a large database from community treatment centers across the United States indicated that neither the experience of sexual nor physical trauma directly predicted successful treatment completion.

TL;DR: A systematic review was conducted to identify determinants of implementing evidence-based psychosocial interventions for children and youth who experience emotional or behavioral difficulties due to trauma exposure and suggests how future studies might address gaps in the evidence base.
