Objective: Childhood exposure to trauma, including violence and abuse, is a major public health concern that has resulted in increased efforts to promote trauma-informed child-serving systems. Trauma screening is an important component of such trauma-informed systems, yet widespread use of trauma screening is rare in part due to the lack of brief, validated trauma screening measures for children. We describe development and validation of the Child Trauma Screen (CTS), a 10-item screening measure of trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms for children consistent with the DSM–5 definition of PTSD.

In this editorial, we discuss Morina and colleagues' meta-analysis of psychological therapies for youth with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression following conflict. Recent years have seen significantly more randomised controlled trial evidence addressing the needs of this population. More work is needed to understand post-traumatic depression, dissemination, timing of intervention and whether trauma-focused interventions are essential.

Young children may experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for years without it being recognized by their parents, according to new research from the University of East Anglia. Researchers followed more than 100 children aged between two and 10 who had been involved in a road accident -- either in a car crash, hit as a pedestrian, or knocked off their bike. All had been taken to A&E with varying injuries, including bruising, fracture or loss of consciousness. The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, found children showing signs of stress soon after a trauma will not necessarily go on to suffer PTSD after three years, but a minority develop PTSD that persists for years.

Objectives: Identifying the factors related to premature termination from trauma-focused child therapy is an important first step in ultimately preventing attrition in at-risk families. The primary aim of the present study was to investigate whether demographic factors and pretreatment symptom levels were associated with premature termination among children who received trauma-focused treatment. Because different definitions of attrition may influence results, candidate factors were examined in relation to 2 operational definitions of attrition.

Recent scholarship on traumatic stress has suggested that particular types of traumatic stressors may result in different patterns of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Specifically, traumatic stressors that are interpersonal and involve betrayal have been found to be particularly detrimental to youths’ psychological functioning. In addition, the extent to which youth experience emotion dysregulation (ED) has been demonstrated to mediate the association between betrayal trauma and PTSD. However, research has yet to disentangle whether betrayal trauma impacts specific facets of ED and PTSD symptoms. Elucidating the specific connections between these constructs is important to our understanding of the impact of betrayal trauma on youth development, and could aid in the development of more targeted interventions for traumatized youth. Thus, the current study sought to examine whether facets of ED mediated the association between traumatic experiences characterized by betrayal versus nonbetrayal and PTSD, and whether these associations were consistent across gender.
