Thus, this research aimed to assess (a) overall caregiver satisfaction; (b) aspects of TF-CBT caregivers found most and least useful or thought could be improved; and (c) if satisfaction differed between caregivers of completers and noncomple…
Parenting Among Mothers Who Experienced Child Sexual Abuse

Closing the mental health treatment gap through the collaboration of traditional and Western medicine in Liberia
Liberians have experienced significant psychological trauma following fourteen years of violent civil war and the 2014-2015 Ebola epidemic, but there are only two psychiatrists for the entire population. However, many traditional healers commonly treat mental health-related illnesses throughout the country. This paper examines the potential for collaboration between traditional and Western medicine to close the mental health treatment gap in Libe…

Nine focus groups were conducted with a total of 72 public school students in Monrovia. All focus groups were recorded, transc…
Adverse Childhood Experiences and Their Relation to Parenting Stress and Parenting Practices
The objective of this study was to understand the relationship between the early adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) of parents and their later parenting stress and practices. At the baseline visit of an 8-week course of cognitive behavioral therapy, parenting women completed the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF) and the Positive Parenting Practices (PPP) scale. Linear regression procedures were used to assess the relationship between a…

Nine focus groups were conducted with 72 Liberian public-school students (35 female, 37 male). Multiple risk facto…

Nearly 6000 more children were orphaned by the Ebola epidemic from 2014-2015. The goal of this research was to explore the impact of parental loss, identify moderating factors, and consider interventions that could help vulnerable youth in post-conflict societies …
