What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
change from baseline child posttraumatic stress symptoms at posttreatment
Foa et al.,(2018) revised the Self-Rating Scale for Symptoms of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder in Children (CPSS-5-SR), with Cronbach's α reliability coefficient of 0.78.
Cpss-5-SR is a 27-item self-reporting measure. Symptom items were scored on a 5-point scale, ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (almost always).
Measured: 1 week
