Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Trauma-Informed Approach for Positive Youth Development for Montana Students (NCT NCT04664855)

Race and Ethnicity were not collected from any participant.

Students will provide a saliva sample in which cortisol levels will be analyzed through salivary assay kits (through Salimetrics.com). Samples will be collected on the first day of the intervention, halfway through the intervention, and on the last day of the intervention to determine if the intervention has changed cortisol levels. A biostatistician will provide analysis and conclusion of these samples at the conclusion of the study; the mean change pre vs. post is provided here. Negative change indicates improvement in stress levels.

This 9 item questionnaire is designed to evaluate severity of depressive symptoms in adolescents. It is scored on a Likert scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day) on items linked to depression indicators. The minimum score is a 0 and the maximum score is a 27, and a negative change in score from pre- to post-assessment indicates an improvement in symptomology. Pre and post-intervention means are reported here.

This 7 item questionnaire is based on a Likert scale of 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day) for items related to anxiety disorders. The lowest score is a zero and the maximum score is a 21. A negative change in score from pre- to post-assessment indicates an improvement in symptomology. Pre and post-intervention means are reported here.

The CD-RISC 10 is a unidimensional self-reported scale consisting of 10-items measuring resilience. Respondents rate items on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (not true at all) to 4 (true nearly all the time). Each item has a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 4. Possible scores range from 0-100. A higher score indicates higher resilience. Pre and post-intervention means are reported here.
