About

The purpose of this research study is to determine the usefulness of the TIPS iPad app in the treatment of adolescent patients who qualify for Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

Full description

The primary goal of this study is to conduct a feasibility test of the delivery of the TIPS app during implementation of TF-CBT in comparison to TF-CBT as it is usually administered, as well as feasibility of methods that would be utilized in a larger scale evaluation of the toolkit. Clients will be randomly assigned to one of the two conditions, TF-CBT plus the TIPS app or TF-CBT as usual. Study duration is six months and includes four total assessments, which will be completed by hand. These assessments will occur over the 12-16 weeks of TF-CBT that clients would receive whether they choose to participate in the study or not. Participation in this study may broaden your child's treatment to target prevention of risk behaviors, but that cannot be guaranteed.
