Telehealth vs. in-person therapy for trauma in Puerto Rican youth
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of giving a type of therapy called Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to children and teens in Puerto Rico who have been through a traumatic event and have post-traumatic stress symptoms. One group receives therapy in person at a clinic, and the other group receives therapy through video calls (telehealth), to see which works better.
