Effectiveness of Task-Shifted Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Children Who Experienced Parental Death and Posttraumatic Stress in Kenya and Tanzania
Overview
This randomized clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of task-shifted trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) for children aged 7 to 13 in Kenya and Tanzania who have experienced parental death and elevated posttraumatic stress. The study compares 12 weeks of group TF-CBT delivered by lay counselors against usual community care, measuring outcomes including PTS, other mental health symptoms, and child-guardian relationships over a 12-month follow-up period.
