A comparison of narrative exposure therapy, supportive counseling, and psychoeducation for treating posttraumatic stress disorder in an african refugee settlement
Open accessAbstract
Little is known about the usefulness of psychotherapeutic approaches for traumatized refugees who continue to live in dangerous conditions. Narrative exposure therapy (NET) is a short-term approach based on cognitive-behavioral therapy and testimony therapy. The efficacy of narrative exposure therapy was evaluated in a randomized controlled trial. Sudanese refugees living in a Ugandan refugee settlement (N = 43) who were diagnosed as suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) either received 4 sessions of NET, 4 sessions of supportive counseling (SC), or psychoeducation (PE) completed in 1 session. One year after treatment, only 29% of the NET participants but 79% of the SC group and 80% of the PE group still fulfilled PTSD criteria. These results indicate that NET is a promising approach for the treatment of PTSD for refugees living in unsafe conditions.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
In a randomized controlled trial with Sudanese refugees living in a Ugandan settlement, narrative exposure therapy (NET) produced better long-term PTSD outcomes than supportive counseling (SC) or psychoeducation (PE). One year after treatment, only 29% of NET participants still met PTSD criteria, compared with 79% of SC and 80% of PE participants.
Key findings
- Among refugees with PTSD (N = 43), 1-year follow-up PTSD diagnosis was 29% (4/14) for NET, 79% (11/14) for SC, and 80% (8/10) for PE; group differences were significant, χ²(2, N = 38) = 9.48, p < .01.
- NET showed significantly greater improvement on PTSD measures: PDS Time × Treatment interaction, F(6, 54) = 4.30, p = .01, η² = .31; CIDI Time × Treatment interaction, F(2, 34) = 4.87, p = .01, η² = .21; contrasts favored NET over both SC and PE.
- No significant Time × Treatment effects were found for comorbid anxiety/depression (SRQ-20) or psychological health (SF-12); at 1 year, 50% of NET, 77% of SC, and 91% of PE participants were still classified as severe mental health cases by SRQ-20 cutoff.
- Post hoc, more NET participants left the settlement (62%) than SC (7%) or PE (17%), χ²(2, N = 40) = 12.34, p < .01; those who left reported fewer traumatic event types (M = 2.50, SD = 1.97) than those who stayed (M = 4.00, SD = 2.40), t(39) = 2.20, p = .03.
Methods
- Randomized controlled trial in Imvepi settlement, northern Uganda; 77 previously surveyed refugees were screened, 43 met DSM-IV PTSD criteria and were randomized by dice to NET (n = 17), SC (n = 14), or PE (n = 12).
- Treatment consisted of 4 sessions for NET and SC, or 1 session for PE; sessions were 90 min, extendable to 120 min for exceptional sessions; assessments occurred pretreatment, posttreatment, 4 months, and 1 year.
- Outcomes included CIDI PTSD interview, PDS, SRQ-20, SF-12, and a 31-item trauma event checklist; analyses used repeated measures ANOVA/MANOVA, Bonferroni-corrected contrasts (α = .025), restricted maximum likelihood for missing data, and adjustment for further traumatic events.
Limitations
- Stated by the authors: treatment was delivered by well-trained European psychologists, making it costly and not directly scalable; exact session duration was not monitored, so a dosage effect cannot be fully ruled out; the supportive counseling condition may not represent current standard counseling; comorbid anxiety and depression remained high across groups; the migration finding was post hoc.
- Evident from the text: the sample was small with unequal group sizes; 1-year follow-up was affected by substantial migration/attrition, especially in the NET group (62% had left the settlement), which may bias follow-up comparisons; follow-up extended only to 1 year, and refugees continued to live in unsafe conditions.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
