Flynn, A., Fothergill, K., Wilcox, H., Coleclough, E., Horwitz, R., Ruble, A., Burkey, M., Wissow & Lawrence, S. (2015). Primary care interventions to prevent or treat traumatic stress in childhood: A systematic review. Academic Pediatrics, 15(5), 480-492

This systematic review found that interventions in pediatric primary care settings—such as screening programs, clinician training, and resource lists—are feasible and largely effective in addressing child traumatic stress. However, the diversity of the studies and their short follow-up periods precluded a comprehensive meta-analysis.
