“…Exposure-based approaches to PTSD were further validated (Silver et al 2005 b ; Difede et al 2007; Levitt et al 2007), including approaches utilizing VR technology (Difede et al 2006) and deliveries in conjunction with SSRI medication (Schneier et al 2012). The few available studies on psychotherapy with children and adolescents support school- and community-based initiatives (CATS Consortium, 2010; Costantino et al 2014). These findings are consistent with previous efforts suggesting the utility of exposure-based approaches for the treatment of PTSD following disasters (Lopes et al 2014).…”

9/11-related PTSD among highly exposed populations: a systematic review 15 years after the attack

et al. 2017

Background The 11 September 2001 (9/11) attacks were unprecedented in magnitude and mental health impact. While a large body of research has emerged since the attacks, published reviews are few, and are limited by an emphasis on cross-sectional research, short time frame, and exclusion of treatment studies. Additionally, to date, there has been no systematic review of available longitudinal information as a unique data set. Consequently, knowledge regarding long-term trajectories of 9/11-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among highly exposed populations, and whether available treatment approaches effectively address PTSD within the context of mass, man-made disaster, remains limited. Methods The present review aimed to address these gaps using a systematic review of peer-reviewed reports from October 2001 to May 2016. Eligible reports were of longitudinal studies of PTSD among highly exposed populations. We identified 20 reports of 9/11-related PTSD, including 13 longitudinal prevalence studies and seven treatment studies. Results Findings suggest a substantial burden of 9/11-related PTSD among those highly exposed to the attack, associated with a range of sociodemographic and back-ground factors, and characteristics of peri-event exposure. While most longitudinal studies show declining rates of prevalence of PTSD, studies of rescue/recovery workers have documented an increase over time. Treatment studies were few, and generally limited by methodological shortcomings, but support exposure-based therapies. Conclusion Future directions for research, treatment, and healthcare policy are discussed.

“…Some approaches involved in PE, CPT, and EMDR may not be applicable, or considered appropriate, for some cultural groups. In addition, a more holistic outlook of PTSD treatment may benefit some individuals based on their cultural norms and values (Costantino, Primavera, Malgady, & Costantino, ; Drozdek, ; Grayshield, Rutherford, Salazar, Mihecoby, & Luna, ).…”

This meta-analysis of 46 between-groups studies published between 1997 and 2015 detected treatment effects ranging from large to small when comparing trauma-focused therapies with no treatment (g = -1.05), supportive interventions (g = -0.91), other interventions (g = -0.57), and non-trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapies (g = -0.08) for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The independent random-effects models detected modest publication bias and a negligible influence of moderating variables on treatment outcomes. Considerations for counselors who treat PTSD and suggestions for researchers are provided.

“…Of the 875 parents receiving consent forms, 410 agreed to let their children participate. After obtaining verbal parental consent and school administrative consent the Child Trauma Screening Questionnaire (CTSQ) was administered to the children (Costantino, Primavera, Malgady, & Costantino, ). The CTSQ is used as a short screen in situations where the administration of a longer instrument is not practical, such as in a classroom setting.…”

“…The CTSQ is used as a short screen in situations where the administration of a longer instrument is not practical, such as in a classroom setting. The CTSQ consists of seven yes/no items, and a score of 2 or higher indicated a positive screen (Costantino et al., ). Of the 410 consented students, 360 children scored positive on the CTSQ and were enrolled to participate in the full study (84.4% of those who agreed to participate, and 39.5% of the total sample of 875).…”

Peer victimization is a common stressor experienced by children. Although peer victimization has been studied extensively, few studies have examined the potential link between peer victimization and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and no studies of which we are aware have examined this link among children in primary school. The paucity of studies examining the link between PTSD and peer victimization in primary school is surprising because peer victimization occurs more frequently and is more likely to be physical among 7- and 8-year-old children. This study assessed the relationship between peer victimization and PTSD in a sample of 358 elementary school children (ages 6-11 years). Results indicated that peer victimization accounted for 14.1% of PTSD symptom severity among boys and 10.1% among girls. Additionally, we found gender differences in the types of peer victimization that were most associated with PTSD symptom severity (d = 0.38). The long-term developmental consequences that may be associated with peer victimization-linked PTSD symptomatology are discussed.
