    Co-Authors: Sheryl H Kataoka, Wenli Tu, Bradley D. Stein, Lisa H Jaycox, Pia Escudero, Catalina Zaragoza, Marleen Wong, Arlene Fink
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT Objective To pilot-test a school Mental Health Program for Latino immigrant students who have been exposed to community violence. Method In this quasi-experiMental study conducted from January through June 2000, 198 students in third through eighth grade with trauma-related depression and/or posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms were compared after receiving an intervention or being on a waitlist. The intervention consisted of a manual-based, eight-session, group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) delivered in Spanish by bilingual, bicultural school social workers. Parents and teachers were eligible to receive psychoeducation and support services. Results Students in the intervention group ( n = 152) had significantly greater improvement in posttraumatic stress disorder and depressive symptoms compared with those on the waitlist ( n = 47) at 3-month follow-up, adjusting for relevant covariates. Conclusions A collaborative research team of school clinicians, educators, and researchers developed this trauma-focused CBT Program for Latino immigrant students and their families. This pilot test demonstrated that this Program for traumatized youths, designed for delivery on school campuses by school clinicians, can be implemented and evaluated in the school setting and is associated with a modest decline in trauma-related Mental Health problems.

  • Short and longer-term psychological consequences of Operation Cast Lead: documentation from a Mental Health Program in the Gaza Strip
    Conflict and Health, 2012
    Co-Authors: Augusto Llosa, German Casas, Rebecca F Grais, Hélène Thomas, Angels Mairal, Marie Rose Moro
    Abstract:

    Background There is growing recognition of the psychological impact of adversity associated with armed conflict on exposed civilian populations. Yet there is a paucity of evidence on the value of Mental Health Programs in these contexts, and of the chronology of psychological sequelae, especially in prolonged conflicts with repeated cycles of extreme violence. Here, we describe changes in the psychological profile of new patients in a Mental Health Program after the military offensive Cast Lead, in the context of the prolonged armed conflict involving the Gaza Strip.

    ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: There is growing recognition of the psychological impact of adversity associated with armed conflict on exposed civilian populations. Yet there is a paucity of evidence on the value of Mental Health Programs in these contexts, and of the chronology of psychological sequelae, especially in prolonged conflicts with repeated cycles of extreme violence. Here, we describe changes in the psychological profile of new patients in a Mental Health Program after the military offensive Cast Lead, in the context of the prolonged armed conflict involving the Gaza Strip. METHODS: This study analyses routinely collected Program data from a Medecins Sans Frontieres Mental Health Program in the Gaza Strip spanning 2007--2011. Data consist of socio-demographic as well as clinical baseline and follow-up data on new patients entering the Program. Comparisons were made through Chi square and Fisher's exact tests, univariate and multivariate logistic and linear regression. RESULTS: PTSD, depression and other anxiety disorders were the most frequent psychopathologies, with 21% having multiple diagnoses. With a median of nine sessions, clinical improvement was recorded for 83% (1122/1357), and more common for those with separation anxiety, acute and posttraumatic disorders as principal diagnosis (855/1005), compared to depression (141/183, p

    Conflict and Health, 2009
    Co-Authors: Elisabeth Sanchezpadilla, German Casas, Rebecca F Grais, Sarah Hustache, Marie Rose Moro
    Abstract:

    Colombia has been seriously affected by an internal armed conflict for more than 40 years affecting mainly the civilian population, who is forced to displace, suffers kidnapping, extortion, threats and assassinations. Between 2005 and 2008, Medecins Sans Frontieres-France provided psychological care and treatment in the region of Tolima, a strategic place in the armed conflict. The Mental Health Program was based on a short-term multi-faceted treatment developed according to the psychological and psychosomatic needs of the population. Here we describe the population attending during 2005-2008, in both urban and rural settings, as well as the psychological treatment provided during this period and its outcomes.
