Note. Each caregiver variable [Cognitive Emotional Processing and Support] was entered in a separate hierarchal piecewise regression model. Phase 1 (stabilization and skills-building phase) and phase 2 (trauma narration and processing phase) means for each variable were entered simultaneously as level-2 (person-level) predictors of change in either externalizing or internalizing symptoms. Symptom change was separated into two pieces: change over treatment, which included 0, 3, and 6 month assessments and change over follow-up, which included 6, 9, and 12 month assessments.
