TF-CBT, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy; TAU, treatment as usual
p<.05,
p<.01, represents p value for difference in mean score change between treatment groups from baseline to post-assessment
All participants included in analysis following multiple imputation
Predicted means, difference in mean change estimates, and corresponding 95% confidence intervals are from the generalized linear mixed effects regression model. The same model was estimated for each level of the specified moderator. Range of the functioning outcome was 0–4 with higher scores indicating greater functional impairment. A negative value for the difference in mean change suggests a greater difference in change among the TF-CBT group compared to the TAU group.
The effect size was calculated as Cohen’s d by dividing the difference in mean change by the baseline pooled standard deviation.
Someone else includes stepparents, grandparents, siblings and “other caretaker”. No one” accounted for <2% of the population and so was combined with someone else category.
