This paper is a systematic research review examining the best treatment intervention for children experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or PTSD-like symptoms after a natural disaster event. Research articles (12) were reviewed using a checklist that assesses face, content, and criterion validity: 9 quantitative, 2 mixed-methods, and 1 qualitative, to determine best screening and intervention practices to reduce the negative symptoms resulting from trauma. Researchers in the cited studies collected data via phone interviews, face-to-face interviews, surveys, self-evaluations, observation methods, teacher and social worker assessments, and parent assessments. For the purpose of this paper, we focused on the question: What is the best way to screen for and treat PTSD in children in post-natural disaster areas? Based on these studies, we identified three major themes: 1) the treatment of PTSD is necessary in post-natural disaster children; 2) school-based screenings (with considerations) are the most viable way to screen children for PTSD; and 3) CBT is the most universal intervention for children post-disaster. We included additional findings on EMDR and parenting techniques. More research needs to be done on the impact of family dynamics in post-natural disaster treatment and the long-term effects of experiencing a natural disaster.

Presents the problematic aspects of adapting treatment techniques to children's needs, suggesting treatment-related decision-making guidelines for children. Focuses on criteria for determining who should be the treatment target (e.g. the child and/or his/her environment) and for selecting the appropriate treatment setting (e.g. home/classroom/clinic) and mode (e.g. group/individual/family/class

Focuses on criteria for determining who should be the treatment target (e.g. the child and/or his/her environment) and for selecting the appropriate treatment setting (e.g. home/classroom/clinic) and mode (e.g. group/individual/family/class/peer) for inducing change. Child characteristics (e.g. age/personal preferences) and treatment mode characteristics (e.g. expected outcomes) are considered, and brief case examples presented.
