Clinical Trial Summary

To test the hypothesis that adult individuals who are victims of gun violence will have decreased symptoms of post-traumatic stress after an individual-level intervention with the Screening and Tool for Awareness and Relief of Trauma (START).


Clinical Trial Description

In response to the lack of targeted mental health intervention for gunshot wound survivors, the Screening and Tool for Awareness and Relief of Trauma (START) was developed for patients that come from communities with sustained and persistent trauma. It consists of six screening questions adapted from the validated Primary Care PTSD Screen,[30] with input from focus groups, surveys and in-depth interviews with victims of violence and in particular, boys and young men of color. START has been shown to be effective at decreasing symptoms of PTSD in a one-month follow-up, but it has not been piloted on recently injured victims of gun violence specifically nor has it been tested in a randomized control trial design. A better understanding of the utility of this tool and others like it in victims of violent crime for relief of symptoms of post-traumatic stress and prevention of PTSD would contribute to the larger body of literature on PTSD prevention for victims of gun violence while simultaneously addressing a major need in this community. ;
