Primary | Mean change in Trauma Symptom Checklist for Young Children (TSCYC) | Children's trauma symptoms will be measured by the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Young Children (TSCYC) at baseline and post-intervention intervals. This caregiver-report measure is developed for children between the ages of 4-12. It consists of 90-items that encompass two reporter validity scales, eight symptom-specific clinical subscales. Answers to individual items are based on a 4-point scale with response options ranging from 1 ("Not at All") to 4 ("Very Often"), and is administered and scored in accordance with manualized instructions. This study will assess trauma symptoms via subscale scores for levels of overall post-traumatic stress, dissociation, post-traumatic intrusion, arousal, and avoidance, and trauma-related aggression. Scale ranges from 90-360 with higher scores indicating worse outcomes. | baseline to 3 months | |
Primary | Mean change in Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ) | The child-report version of the Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ)contains 13 items measuring depressive symptom severity over a 2-week period. Each item has 3 response categories: "True" (=2, the item applies to them most of the time), "Sometimes" (=1, the item applies to them sometimes), or "Not True" (=0, the item is not true about them). Scale ranges from 0-26 with higher scores indicating worse outcome. | baseline to 3 months | |
Primary | Mean change in Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Pediatric Item Bank v2.0 - Anxiety - Short Form 8a (PROMIS) | The child-report version of the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Pediatric Item Bank v2.0 - Anxiety - Short Form 8a (PROMIS)measures anxiety symptoms experienced by youth over the past seven days (PROMIS, 2019). The PROMIS (2019) contains 7 items, each with a 5-point Likert scale (1-5) by which youth indicate the frequency that each item applies to them (1=Never, 2=Almost Never, 3=Sometimes, 4=Often, 5=Almost Always). Scales ranges from 1-35 with higher scores indicating worse outcome. | baseline to 3 months | |
Secondary | Number of caregivers reporting childhood trauma | Caregivers will be asked to respond yes or no to the same questions asked on the Center for Youth and Wellness Adverse Childhood Experiences (CYW ACE-Q) this time with respect to their own childhoods.
This is a 17-item, yes/no, child-specific (ages 0-12) version of a measure that includes 10 items on abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction. These items comprise section 1 of the measure. Seven additional items comprise section 2 of the measure and include foster care placement, bullying, death of a primary caregiver, separation from primary caregiver due to deportation or immigration, serious medical procedure/illness, witnessing neighborhood violence, and experiencing discrimination. If any items are reported, the caregiver will be categorized as having reported trauma. |
baseline to 3 months | |
Secondary | Mean number of sessions per week | A weekly check in survey will be used to collect the number of sessions per week and the duration of each session. | 3 months | |
Secondary | Mean satisfaction with the intervention | A weekly check in survey will be used for caregivers to rate their satisfaction with the intervention on a 5-point scale (1 = very dissatisfied; 5 = Very Satisfied). The scale ranges from 1-5 with 5 indicating higher satisfaction. | 3 months | |
Secondary | mean length of each session | A weekly check in survey will be used to collect from caregivers the number of sessions per week and the duration of each session. | 3 months | |
Secondary | Mean change in Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) | Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) that assesses symptoms of depression over the prior two-week period in accordance with DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder. The BDI-II is acceptable for use with clinical and non-clinical populations. It contains 21 items, each with a four-point response scale ranging in severity from no symptoms (1) to severe symptoms (3). A cut-off score of 20 is used to indicate depression among non-clinical populations, while scores ranges of 0-13 (minimal depression), 14-19 (mild depression), 20-28 (moderate depression), and 29-63 are used to assess levels of depression among clinically diagnosed patients. The scale ranges from 0-63 with higher scores indicating worse outcomes. | baseline to 3 months | |
Secondary | post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) | The post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) is a validated screening instrument that measures past-month post traumatic stress disorder symptoms. The PCL-5 contains 20 items scored on a 5-point Likert scale, in which respondents indicate their agreement with each item, ranging from 0 ("Not at All") to 4 ("Extremely"). The scale ranges from 0-80 with higher scores indicating worse outcome. | baseline to 3 months | |
Secondary | Parental Stress Scale (PSS) | The Parental Stress Scale (PSS) is an 18-item measure that assesses parenting-related stress among caregivers. Each item contains 5 numbered response options, ranging from 1 ("Disagree Strongly") to 5 (Strongly Agree), along with an additional "Not Sure" option. The scale ranges from 18-90 with higher scores indicating worse outcomes. | Baseline to 3 months |
