Overview

Mixed methods study finds improved engagement and outcomes in Black youth through racial socialization in therapy.

Key Points

  • Participants indicated that the adapted therapy, TF-CBT-RS, showed increased acceptability and clinician efficacy, with positive client perceptions.
  • The adaptation process utilized the ADAPT-ITT model, involving literature review, expert interviews, and community feedback for cultural relevance.
  • Preliminary results suggested reductions in trauma symptoms and enhanced coping, indicating the potential for further research in larger randomized trials.
