Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
This study was conceptualized via an initial partnership with the Principal Investigator (PI), the City of Columbus Commission on Black Girls (Commission or COBG) and the Franklin County Juvenile Court. The investigators will also conduct individual semi-structured interviews with providers (N=20) to assess their views of the adapted intervention, as well as who they think will be best to deliver the intervention, and in which settings/locations. Further, the investigators will create three advisory boards: Community Advisory Board, Scientific Advisory Board, and a Youth Advisory Board to assist the research team with recruitment, study design and implementation, intervention development, and to ensure the rigor and translational aspects of the research study. The investigators will use all the identified themes from the JI BAFA, P/C, and provider interviews to adapt and test a healing centered stress reduction intervention for Phase II of the study. The investigators will recruit JI BAFA-P/C dyads for Phase II of the study and Phase I participants will be invited to participate.
The objectives of this research study are to:
- Assess JI BAFAs' PTSD, as well as their and their P/Cs' stress.
- Culturally adapt a healing centered stress reduction intervention based on the responses from ten JI BAFA-P/C dyads, including ten Black girls ages 14-18 who are involved with the Franklin County Juvenile Court and ten of their parents/caregivers based on their feedback to identify specific gaps in service provision and utilization of services, i.e. barriers to treatment, as well as describe the proposed intervention and elicit their feedback about its utility and implementation. Intervention development and adaptation will also be based on the feedback from 20 providers, and recommendations from select advisory board members.
- Test the culturally adapted intervention and assess the participants' experiences via member checking, a method used to ensure the accuracy of what they told us in the interviews at the end of the interview.
- Identify specific gaps in service provision and utilization of services.
- Provide recommendations to study participants and Franklin County Juvenile Court to inform practice protocols, and a future randomized control trial to test this culturally adapted intervention with a larger sample of participants.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: ITR Healing Intervention
This is a single arm nonrandomized test of the culturally adapted ITR healing intervention.
|
This is a nonrandomized test of the culturally adapted ITR healing intervention that is based on the ITR framework.
The ITR Healing intervention comprises six 60-minute sessions based on Intersectionality theoretical framework, Healing Centered Engagement (HCE) activities that were integrated into the intervention, as well as participant's feedback about the intervention.
Also, the participants' behavioral experiences per the Theoretical Domains Framework targets was used to adapt the intervention activities.
HCE focuses on building a holistic approach and empathy for each session, i.e., using music, dance/movement, meditation, breathing and journaling.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
PTSD Screen
Time Frame: 24 months
|
PTSD psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, or rape or who have been threatened with death, sexual violence or serious injury. PTSD Will be measured by the Primary Care PTSD Screen, which all participants will complete. . The authors suggest that in most circumstances the results of the PC-PTSD should Those screening positive should then be assessed with a structured interview for PTSD. The screen does not include a list of potentially traumatic events. |
24 months
|
PTSD Checklist
Time Frame: 24 months
|
PTSD Checklist from DSM-5 (PCL-5), which all participants will complete.
A total symptom severity score (range - 0-80) can be obtained by summing the scores for each of the 20 items.
|
24 months
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Stress Psychosocial
Time Frame: 24 months
|
Perceived Stress Scale Questionnaire-short, 10 items.
Individual scores on the PSS can range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress.
|
24 months
|
Stress Physiological
Time Frame: 24 months
|
Hair assessment and provide 1-3 cm of hair will be assessed via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at the Ford Stress Science Lab for mean cortisol.
Hair will be cut from the posterior vertex of the scalp.
Ideally participants will have 3 cm of hair for assay but if they have 1 cm will be included to avoid selection bias; hair length can be included as a covariate in analysis if needed.
Participants will be screened on hair care practices (chemical use, shampoo frequency), medications (steroids, estrogen/progesterone) to assess the effect on cortisol.
The hair cortisol captures cumulative exposure to cortisol over time as each 1 cm of hair growth approximates 1 month of mean cortisol output.
|
24 months
|
Parent/Caregiver-Child Relationship
Time Frame: 24 months
|
All participants will complete a 4-item Parent/Caregiver-Child Relationship Scale to assess the quality of their relationships.
