This pilot study is testing a behavioral intervention called Adapted Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS) with a Racial Trauma Module (RTM). This program is designed to help reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and improve overall well-being. The study is looking for young people aged 13 to 18 who are currently in juvenile detention centers and have at least 3 months left on their sentence. To join, you would need to have certain scores on a PTSD screening. Researchers will measure how well the intervention reduces PTSD symptoms using the Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS) at the start and again 3 months later. The study is also looking at how practical and acceptable the intervention is, and if it helps with school performance and reduces the desire to use substances after release. The current status of this study is unclear.
