New Addition to the Child Trauma Data Collection Series
New Data Alert!
CTDA 1036: Posttraumatic Stress, Appraisals, and Coping in Children Age 8 to 13 Hospitalized for Injury and Their Parents, United States, 2012-2015 has been released as the latest addition to the Child Trauma Data Collection Series. This study examined the interplay of biological, psychological, and environmental factors during the peri-trauma time period for children ages 8-13 who were hospitalized with a recent injury.
The Series represents the work of the Child Trauma Data Archives (CTDA) project at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. This international collaborative project brings together data from studies of children exposed to many types of traumas including disaster, injury, violence, and maltreatment. The collection provides a growing research resource that facilitates cross-study analyses of individual-participant-level data, with a goal of making the data more FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable) through use of common data elements (CDE) and metadata across these and future child trauma studies.
The Series currently includes 12 prospective studies that follow children after exposure to a specific acute trauma. Future releases will include additional prospective studies and intervention studies that evaluate prevention or treatment of traumatic stress in children. Variables in the series relate to children’s psychological health and recovery, coping and social support, cognitive processes, and health or functional outcomes as well as some derived data from health and treatment records.
