Abstract Details

2016, Doctor of Philosophy, Case Western Reserve University, Psychology.
This study sought to characterize a sample of children with elevated PTSD symptoms, to determine the individual- and family-level risk and protective factors for PTSD symptomotology. Predictors of elevated PTSD symptom levels included higher levels of depressive symptoms, higher levels of family conflict, and less frequent use of cognitive reappraisal as an emotion regulation strategy. Those students who sought treatment also reported using less effective coping skills. Gender and age effects were also present. Further, this study sought to describe the process of implementing a psychological treatment program in a small-town school, with the ultimate goal of informing our understanding of the most effective approaches to school-based interventions. Challenges faced included parent and teacher resistance as well as poor school and community climate. Implications for trauma-focused treatment programs, and for the effective implementation of school-based interventions more generally, are discussed.
