Lack of research on how to treat kids dealing with trauma
Posted: Feb 11, 2013 10:39 AM by NBC News
There's a large lack of scientific evidence on how to help children who've experienced traumatic events.
The Sandy Hook shootings, 9/11, and violent storms can all have a major impact on the psyche of young children, but a new study shows there's little evidence of the best ways to help kids cope and avoid long-term, negative consequences.
University of North Carolina doctors reviewed existing research on traumatic stress disorders in kids.
A few interventions were found to help in the short-term, but no studies attempted to replicate the findings.
There was no evidence medications helped.
