Depression Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of a Group-based, Cognitive-behavioural Intervention With Former Child Soldiers and Other War-affected Children in the Democratic Republic of Congo: A Randomised Controlled Trial.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate, in a randomised control trial (RCT), the effectiveness of group-based, trauma-focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (TF-CBT) in reducing psychological distress in former child soldiers and other war-affected children in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
To the best of the author's knowledge this is the first group-based mental health or
psychosocial intervention developed specifically for psychologically distressed former child
soldiers. While CBT is the modality with most empirical evidence for treating war-affected
young people, this is the first evaluation with child soldiers specifically.
Former child soldiers and war affected 'street boys' (aged 13-17) in eastern DRC, will be
screened for symptoms of psychological distress and then randomly assigned to either a
treatment group or a waiting-list control. The treatment groups will receive a 15-session
manualised, culturally-adapted, TF-CBT intervention. This includes psycho-education,
relaxation, affect modulation, cognitive processing and constructing a trauma narrative.
After treatment and post-testing, the waiting-list controls then begin their intervention.
