Filter by:Millions of U.S. parents have experienced trauma, putting them at risk for maladaptive parenting practices, which then confer vulnerabilities to their children. This study aims to enhance understanding of how parental emotional dysregulation associated with traumatic stress impedes effective parenting. The study employs neurophysiological methods (electroencephalogram; EEG) to address some of the challenges inherent in the study of emotion (particularly in trauma-exposed individuals) and to identify potential biomarkers of traumatic stress and response to intervention.
STEP (Supporting the Transition to and Engagement in Parenthood) is a manualized group intervention for pregnant women exposed to early life adversity designed to foster emotion regulation and reflective capacities in participants.
For the current study, the investigators will develop, implement, and evaluate web-based and consultative training for Family Advocates employed at Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs) across the United States to enhance children's early engagement in evidence-based mental health treatment. The interactive web-based training will embed key targets of knowledge and skills related to family engagement, trauma, evidence-based practices (EBP), and EBP services in the community. Seventy-five CACs who apply to participate in training will be randomized to a webinar-only training group, a webinar plus consultation training group, and a delayed (waitlist) control group. It is hypothesized that the Family Advocates and CAC Directors will report high levels of satisfaction with the training. More importantly, it is also hypothesized that webinar training will improve Family Advocates' knowledge, resulting in minor improvement in EBP engagement, while the addition of consultation in the second training group will lead to increased use of engagement skills, thereby resulting in greater improvement in family engagement in EBP.
Aversive childhood experiences (ACE) and their relation to the development of an alcohol use disorder will be measured with fMRI.
On July 14, 2016, in Nice, children and their families were attacked by the organization "EI". In Nice, 86 deaths, including 10 children, the youngest at 4, were recorded. A number of children, still difficult to assess exactly but over 100, was bereaved. After a traumatic event, multiple clinical consequences may appear in children. Among these consequences, the most common is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The aim of the study is to characterize the psycho-social factors of risk and / or protection interfering in the children's future, following the mass trauma of 14 July 2016 in Nice on a sample of pediatric population exposed in comparison of children controls. Ancillary study, entilted "The Physalis Child", prospectively observe the presence or not of non-psychotic acousto-verbal hallucinations (AVH) in the population with PTSD from the "Program 14-7". The main objective of this ancillary study will be to identify factors of social and emotional cognition linked to the presence of non-psychotic HAV within the cohort of children exposed to the mass trauma of July 14, 2016 in Nice but also to any type of individual trauma. Ancillary study, entilted "trail of the 14 July attack", prospectively observe the risk of traumatic reactivation.
This is a randomized clinical trial comparing eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to progressive counting (PC) for volunteers from the community who are distressed by the memory of a motor vehicle accident. Participants will be assigned to the geographically nearest therapist, and then randomized to treatment condition.
