TF-CBT for Adjudicated Youth in Residential Treatment

Adjudicated youth often have traumatic stress responses but rarely receive treatment for these problems. This study is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate two alternative implementation strategies for providing an evidence-based trauma treatment, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), to therapist who treat adjudicated youth in 18 residential treatment facilities (RTF) in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Connecticut: 1) web-based TF-CBT implementation strategy ("W"), consisting on only web-based training and consultation; versus 2) W plus live TF-CBT implementation strategy, consisting of W plus face-to face training and phone consultation with TF-CBT experts ("W+L").
