Abstract

Keeping traditionally underrepresented children and their families engaged in treatment until completion is a major challenge for many community‐based mental health clinics. The current study used data collected as part of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network Core Data Set to examine whether racial/ethnic disparities exist in treatment duration and completion in children seeking treatment for trauma exposure. We then explored whether disparities persist after accounting for other variables associated with children's social contexts and the treatment setting. The sample included 562 ethnically diverse children receiving services from a child abuse prevention and treatment agency in Southern California. The results indicated that African American children had significantly shorter trauma‐informed treatment duration and higher rates of premature termination than Spanish‐speaking Latino children. These disparities persisted even with other variables associated with treatment duration and completion (e.g., child's age, level of functional impairment, and receipt of group and field services) in the model. Implications and future directions for research and practice are discussed.

  • Fraynt et al. (2014) identified disparities in treatment completion specifically with African American and Latino youths and families seeking services for trauma-related intervention as compared to their White family counterparts.

    The Abstract reports disparities in treatment completion among African American and Latino children receiving trauma-informed treatment: African American children had higher rates of premature termination than Spanish-speaking Latino children. The Method Participants section says the study included only African American and Latino children, so it does not support the claimed comparison with White families. (LLM, conf=0.91)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
