Methods One hundred forty-six participants were randomly assigned to receive either the C3RT intervention (nā=ā74) or the standard practice (nā=ā72). Cox regression analyses were used to test whether the intervention delayed incidents of EANF victimization measured by when adult protective services opened an investigation, when the police recorded a victimization, and when a hospital admission took place. Results Assignment to the C3RT intervention program did not significantly delay incidents of EANF victimization indicator. Conclusions This C3RT approach did not produce the desired outcomes, though the project demonstrates that it is ethical and feasible to implement an RCT to test an intervention with vulnerable populations.
