abstract="This study reports on 131 Hispanic/Latino children exhibiting post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression symptoms, as participants in the Child and Adolescent Trauma Interventions and Services (CATS) consortium in New York City. Seventy-six participants received individual Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (T-F CBT), while 55 received group TEMAS (Tell-Me-A-Story) Narrative Trauma Therapy (TEMAS-NTT). Follow-up data were collected at 3- and 6-month post-intervention. A two-factor mixed design Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) was used. Both treatments were comparable in reducing PTSD. While both treatments reduced depression and anxiety symptoms, children receiving the TEMAS-NTT displayed significantly higher depression symptoms reductions, and younger children showed higher anxiety symptoms reductions. Positive intervention outcomes occurred only within the first 3 months of intervention. The results suggest that TEMAS-NTT is a valid and cost-efficient method in reducing PTSD, depression, and anxiety symptoms.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
