A consensus or society position rather than new primary data.
This paper presents a novel 54-element framework for systematically categorizing practice elements in child traumatic stress interventions across five domains. The framework was developed through literature review, expert consultation with 10 international trauma specialists, and iterative refinement, with feasibility demonstrated through application to multiple intervention studies. This is a methodological tool designed to enable meaningful cross-study data integration and comparative analyses of intervention components, rather than an efficacy study.
Framework development study with expert consultation and iterative refinement. Child traumatic stress interventions (both prevention and treatment approaches) identified through literature review and expert consultation. Intervention: 54-element framework for categorizing practice elements in child traumatic stress interventions organized across five domains. International expert panel; specific geographic locations of studied interventions not detailed in excerpt.
54 discrete practice elements identified across five categories: targeting the child, parent/family, any intervention participant, broader context, and process elements Framework developed through four-step process: comprehensive literature review, expert consultation with 10 international trauma experts rating importance, refinement based on feedback, and testing across multiple intervention studies Framework demonstrates utility for characterizing diverse prevention and treatment approaches in child trauma interventions

This framework provides researchers and clinicians with a standardized taxonomy for describing and comparing specific therapeutic components across different child trauma interventions, enabling future meta-analyses and component analyses to identify which practice elements are most effective. The work supports secondary data analysis and cross-study comparisons that may advance evidence-based practice.
This is a methodological framework paper describing development of a coding system for characterizing practice elements in child trauma interventions, enabling standardized cross-study description rather than testing efficacy or effectiveness.

Background: Data re-use and secondary analysis present significant opportunities to advance knowledge in the traumatic stress and psychotherapy research fields and fully realize the contributions of prior research participants. However, to enable meaningful cross-study analyses of intervention studies, systematic approaches to characterizing intervention components are needed.Objective: This paper describes the development of a comprehensive framework for categorizing practice elements in child traumatic stress interventions, designed as part of the Child Trauma Prevention and Treatment (CTPT) Data Archive project.Method: Through review of existing literature, expert consultation, and systematic refinement, we developed a framework for categorizing practice elements in child traumatic stress interventions.Results: We identified 54 practice elements across five categories targeting the child, parent/family, elements addressing any intervention participant, the broader context, and process elements. This framework enables researchers to describe child traumatic stress interventions at a granular level, facilitating novel analyses examining specific intervention components across nominally distinct intervention models. Application of this framework to active arms within multiple intervention studies demonstrates its utility for characterizing diverse prevention and treatment approaches.Conclusions: This work represents an essential step toward enhancing the value of integrated data resources and advancing evidence-based traumatic stress interventions for children and families.
