Telehealth vs. Clinic-Based TF-CBT for PTSD in Youth

This study is comparing two ways of delivering Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for young people aged 7 to 18 in Puerto Rico who have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). TF-CBT is a type of therapy designed to help with trauma and related symptoms like depression and anxiety. The study wants to see if TF-CBT given through telehealth (online or by phone) is as effective as TF-CBT given in a clinic setting. Researchers will also look at how practical, acceptable, and engaging telehealth delivery is. You may be able to join if you are 7-18 years old, have experienced trauma, and have significant PTSD symptoms. The study aims to enroll 80 participants.
