“…Specifically, the UP was efficacious when translated and culturally adapted in the contexts of a randomized controlled trial for individuals from remote areas of Colombia who were exposed to violence (e.g., armed conflict) and met criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and/or depression. In contrast to previous studies with single-disorder protocols in lower income countries that yielded moderate effects without maintenance of treatment results at follow-up, this study by Castro-Camacho et al (2023) revealed significant reductions with large effect sizes in PTSD, PTSD checklist for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition scores: slope ( SE ), −31.12 [3.00]; p < .001; Cohen d , 0.90, depression, nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire: slope ( SE ), −11.94 [1.30]; p < .001; Cohen d , 0.77, and anxiety, Patient Health Questionnaire—anxiety: slope ( SE ), −6.52 [0.67]; p < .001; Cohen d , 0.82. Furthermore, the UP demonstrated feasibility when modified in a randomized controlled trial within an inpatient setting consisting of patients with suicidal thoughts and behaviors, in addition to low educational attainment, unemployment and homelessness (Bentley et al, 2017).…”
