Revised trauma competencies for education and training: Consensus updates and highlights
Although the scientific literature on traumatic stress is large and growing, most psychologists have only a cursory knowledge of this science. Most have no formal training in, nor apply evidence-based psychosocial treatments for, trauma-related disorders. Sixty experts took part in the 2013 New Haven Trauma Competencies consensus conference and developed a comprehensive model of trauma-focused, empirically informed competencies (knowledge, skills…
The Inconsistency of Trauma-Related Journalism Education Goals and Instruction
Many journalism students cover stories about tragedy and violence (trauma). Yet few journalism schools offer trauma training despite growing agreement among educators that early journalists need to learn about the impact of reporting trauma on victims, the community, and the journalists’ themselves. This contrast is puzzling. This study aimed to identify what trauma-related topics are valued and which are taught. First, 156 Association for Educat…
Perpetuating Perpetrators: News Coverage of Perpetrators and Victims of the Columbine and Parkland Shootings
Since the Columbine school shootings more than two decades ago, advocates have called for mass shooting coverage at local and national levels to reduce focus on perpetrators and instead increase focus on victims. Given these recommendations, the present study explored the degree to which recent local and national news coverage of the Parkland school shooting is consistent with suggested best practice compared to the precedent-setting Columbine co…
Mixed-Method Investigations Uncovering Tension, PTSD Symptoms, and Trauma-Related Difficulties Among Indian Women from Slums Reporting Gender-Based Violence
I put a stone on my heart and kept going: An explanatory model of how distress is generated and regulated among Indian women from slums reporting gender-based violence
Clinical variation in the expression of panic disorder, depression and anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has have been documented across cultures. However, local (emic) cultural models that explain how people make sense of their illness experiences remain relatively understudied in India among trauma-exposed populations. Further, the integration of emic findings into clinical care is limited, underscoring the need for emic perspec…
The Effect of Interventions on Functional Impairment in Youth Exposed to Mass Trauma: A Meta-Analysis
A consensus statement on trauma mental health: The New Haven Competency Conference process and major findings
Although the scientific literature on traumatic stress is large and growing, most psychologists have only a cursory knowledge of this science and have no formal training in, nor apply evidence-based psychosocial treatments for, trauma-related disorders. Thus, there exists a clear need for the development and dissemination of a comprehensive model of trauma-focused, empirically informed competencies (knowledge, skills, and attitudes). Therefore, t…
Prenatal methamphetamine exposure, home environment, and primary caregiver risk factors predict child behavioral problems at 5 years
This study investigated the prospective association between prenatal methamphetamine (MA) exposure and child behavioral problems at 5 years while also examining the home environment at 30 months and several primary caregiver (PC) risk factors. Participants were 97 MA-exposed and 117 comparison children and their PCs enrolled in the Infant Development, Environment and Lifestyle Study. Hypotheses were that child behaviors would be adversely impacte…

Adaptation of a Scale of Race-Related Stress for Use with Muslim Americans
This article describes the adaptation and preliminary validation of the Race-Related Stressor Scale (RRSS) for use with Muslim Americans. The RRSS was developed as a measure of race-related stress experienced by Asian American veterans of the Vietnam War. The adapted measure, the Perceived Religious Discrimination Scale (PRDS), measures stress related to the perception of religious discrimination on three dimensions: stress associated with the pe…

Ethical Issues in Trauma-Related Research: A Review
Ethical decision-making about trauma-related studies requires a flexible approach that counters assumptions and biases about victims, assures a favorable ethical cost-benefit ratio, and promotes advancement of knowledge that can benefit survivors of traumatic stress. This paper reviews several ethical issues in the field of traumatic stress: Benefit and risks in trauma-related research, whether trauma-related research poses unique risks and if so…

A statistically significant relationship was found between perceived religious discrimination an…
The risks and benefits of participating in trauma‐focused research studies
Concern about minimizing harm and maximizing benefit has been particularly acute with regard to the scientific study of individuals exposed to potentially traumatic events such as terrorist attack or disaster. This review outlines conceptual and practical issues and summarizes available evidence regarding potential risks and benefits of participation in trauma‐related research. Current, limited evidence suggests that most individuals make favorab…
Developmental Disabilities, Trauma Exposure, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
It has been assumed that individuals with developmental disabilities are a group of individuals at greater risk for exposure to abuse and neglect, although there is no evidence documenting a higher prevalence or incidence of trauma exposure and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among those with developmental disabilities. This article distinguishes those biases about the relative vulnerability of individuals with developmental disabilities fr…
