Intervention to Prevent Behavioral Health Symptoms Among Pandemic Affected Children
Pragmatic RCT of a Multi-level Mechanistically Informed Community Intervention to Prevent the Onset of Behavioral Health Symptoms Among Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Pandemic Affected Children
About This Trial
Racial and ethnic minority children who live in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities are disproportionately impacted by pandemic and climate-induced disasters. Although effective interventions have been designed to treat mental health related symptoms in post-disaster settings, accessible, empirically supported prevention interventions are needed to prevent the onset of mental and behavioral health issues among these children. Building on our preliminary findings, the proposed study examines the efficacy and implementation of a COVID-19 adapted disaster focused prevention intervention, Journey of Hope-C19, in preventing behavioral health and interpersonal problems among racial and ethnic minority children who live in low-resource high poverty communities.
