Overview
Funded by the National Institute for Mental Health, this research project aims to adapt an evidence-based trauma intervention, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for use in the state correctional system. Following adaptation through a participatory approach, the effectiveness of the adapted model will be assessed in three correctional facilities. The feasibility study will allow for testing of the screening, recruitment, and consent processes, examine the acceptability and tolerability of the treatment approach, and provide preliminary estimates of effectiveness.
