“…For the subsample for whom grief was examined, CBT outperformed (Layne et al, 2008) the comparison or was equivalent (Salloum & Overstreet, 2008) to a similar but individually delivered treatment. Positive results at the end of the treatment from two small open trials support these findings (Goodkind, LaNoue, & Milford, 2010; Morsette, Van Den Pol, Schuldberg, Swaney, & Stolle, 2012). …”

“…All of the studies focused on diverse populations—African American (Salloum & Overstreet, 2008, 2012) and Latino (Jaycox et al, 2009) youth in the United States and predominantly ethnic Muslims in Bosnia (Layne et al, 2008). The two open trials tested CBITS with American Indian children (Goodkind et al, 2010; Morsette et al, 2012), with descriptions of fidelity and cultural adaptation (i.e., involving tribal elders to bring in culturally specific ceremonies and perspectives on trauma and healing). Goodkind et al (2010) found that PTSS rebounded to pretreatment levels at the 6-month follow-up.…”

Child and adolescent trauma exposure is prevalent, with trauma exposure-related symptoms, including posttraumatic stress, depressive, and anxiety symptoms often causing substantial impairment. This article updates the evidence base on psychosocial treatments for child and adolescent trauma exposure completed for this journal by Silverman et al. (2008). For this review, we focus on 37 studies conducted during the seven years since the last review. Treatments are grouped by overall treatment family (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy), treatment modality (e.g., individual vs. group), and treatment participants (e.g., child only vs. child and parent). All studies were evaluated for methodological rigor according to Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology evidence-based treatment evaluation criteria (Southam-Gerow & Prinstein, 2014), with cumulative designations for level of support for each treatment family. Individual CBT with parent involvement, individual CBT, and group CBT were deemed well-established; group CBT with parent involvement and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) were deemed probably efficacious; individual integrated therapy for complex trauma and group mind–body skills were deemed possibly efficacious; individual client-centered play therapy, individual mind–body skills, and individual psychoanalysis were deemed experimental; and group creative expressive + CBT was deemed questionable efficacy. Advances in the evidence base, with comparisons to the state of the science at the time of the Silverman et al. (2008) review, are discussed. Finally, we present dissemination and implementation challenges and areas for future research.

“…The remaining four adapted interventions included culturally adapted versions of CBITS (Goodkind et al., ; Hepler, ; Morsette et al., , ), Seeking Safety (Marsh, ; Marsh et al., ), and the Incredible Years Parenting Program with motivational interviewing (Dionne et al., ). These interventions were selected for cultural adaptation because they were evidence‐based and had been successfully adapted for other racial/ethnic minority and high‐risk communities in previous studies (Boden et al., ; Lynch, Heath, Mathews, & Cepeda, ; Ngo et al., ).…”

A Systematic Review of Trauma Interventions in Native Communities

American Indian/Alaska Native and First Nations communities suffer from health disparities associated with multiple forms of trauma exposure. Culturally appropriate interventions are needed to heal current and historical trauma wounds. Although there are evidence‐based trauma interventions for other populations, few have been implemented or evaluated with Native communities. Understanding the extant research on trauma interventions in Native communities is crucial for advancing science and filling gaps in the evidence base, and for meeting the needs of underserved people. In this systematic review of the literature on trauma interventions in Native communities in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, we identified 15 studies representing 10 interventions for historical and/or current trauma. These studies involved the community to some extent in developing or culturally adapting the interventions and suggested positive outcomes with regard to historical and interpersonal trauma symptoms. However, notable limitations in study design and research methods limit both internal validity and external validity of these conclusions. Only one study attempted (but did not achieve) a quasi‐experimental design, and small sample sizes were persistent limitations across studies. Recommendations for researchers include working in partnership with Native communities to overcome barriers to trauma intervention research and to increase the rigor of the studies so that ongoing efforts to treat trauma can yield publishable data and communities can secure funding for intervention research.

Historical Trauma and American Indian/Alaska Native Youth Mental Health Development and Delinquency

Health disparities in American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth are well documented in the literature, as AI/AN youth appear to be more likely to experience trauma and engage in high‐risk behavior, such as substance misuse and risky sexual behavior. These youth also appear disproportionally affected by the criminal justice system. Scholars contend that much of these disparities can be traced back to the history of colonization of Indigenous peoples and the transgenerational effects of forced suppression of cultural ideology. This paper reviews the relevant literature on AI/AN youth mental and behavioral health, and this author highlights studies which examine the plausible relation between historical trauma and contemporary AI/AN youth mental health and delinquency. This author proposes that future research should target the high number of AI/AN youths in juvenile justice settings given that these youths appear neglected in current research.
