PTSD during the perinatal period is associated with the poorest mental and physical health outcomes for both the birthing person and their child. Treatment options for PTSD during the perinatal period remain underexplored, yet Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) may be particularly well-suited to reduce perinatal PTSD. The current study evaluates the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a brief NET protocol for pregnant and postpartum participants. Participants (<i>N</i> = 16, mean age = 28.9, 75% White, 75% multiparous, 62.5% postpartum) completed a six-session virtual protocol. Participants completed self-report measures assessing acceptance and credibility of program, as well as depressive and PTSD symptoms at baseline, 1 week-, 1 month-, and 3 months-post-intervention. Participants endorsed that the program was acceptable and feasible; most eligible participants consented to participate (74%) and completed treatment (81%). There were statistically significantly lower levels of PTSD symptoms (<i>M</i> _<i>pre</i> = 37.70; <i>M</i> _<i>post</i> = 23.50, <i>p</i> = <.001, <i>d</i> = 1.74) and depressive symptoms (<i>M</i> _<i>pre</i> = 14.17; <i>M</i> _<i>post</i> = 9.42, <i>p</i> = .002, <i>d</i> = 1.14;) at 1-week post-intervention with gains maintained. Mean dissociation symptoms and dysfunctional posttraumatic cognitions also decreased. This study provides preliminary data that brief NET is a feasible, acceptable, and effective PTSD treatment for pregnant <i>and</i> postpartum individuals.

Bivariate analyses were conducted to assess the association of sexual or physical dating violence (representing TDV) with age, sex, school violence, substance use, depressive symptoms, and sexual behavior. We conducted logistic regression analysis to predict odds ratios (OR) of physical and sexual dating violence among Asian American adolescents. Around one in 10 Asian American adolescents in the sample experienced TDV in the past 12 months. Asian American adolescent females were at greater risk of experiencing sexual dating violence than Asian American adolescent males. School violence, substance use, bullying victimization, depressive symptoms, and sexual behavior were associated with experiencing TDV; school violence and bullying victimization were associated with increased odds of TDV among Asian American adolescents.

The sample, which was drawn from a large public, inner city healthcare system, consisted of 154 low-income African American women with a mean age of 36.66 (SD = 11.43) with a recent history of both one or more suicide attempt(s) and exposure to interpersonal violence in the form of intimate partner violence (IPV). A series of scales were administered to the women including the Survey of Recent Life Events (SRLE), Beck Self-Esteem Scales (BSES), and Beck Depression Inventory - II (BDI-II). Mplus v8.8 was used to estimate the total, direct, and indirect effects simultaneously for other type of self-esteem (views of self [self-esteem: self], perceptions of others' views of them [self-esteem: other]). As predicted, daily hassles were associated positively and significantly with depressive symptoms and negatively and significantly with both forms of self-esteem. In addition, lower levels of self-esteem: self, but not self-esteem: other, was associated positively and significantly with depressive symptoms. Partial support was obtained for the mediational hypothesis; self-esteem according to one's self-evaluation (self-esteem: self), but not projected evaluations of others (self-esteem: other), mediated the daily hassles-depressive symptoms link. Thus, depressive symptoms in African American female suicide attempters exposed to IPV appear to vary based on how these women appraise their own self-worth in the context of managing daily stressors and hassles.</p>","PeriodicalId":47784,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aggression Maltreatment & Trauma","volume":"34 1","pages":"3-19"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11922542/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143671453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While aggression is often enacted against multiple targets (e.g., peers, dating partners), most interventions only target one violence type (e.g., teen dating violence [TDV]). However, TDV shares risk factors with other violence forms; therefore, TDV-specific interventions may reduce other types of violence (e.g., general aggression). The current study explored the effects of a TDV intervention, Date SMART, on general physical and verbal aggression (i.e., aggression not tied to dating) in legal system involved girls (<i>N</i> = 239, <i>M</i>age = 15.57) and how victimization history (including sexual abuse) moderated treatment effects compared to a Knowledge Only (KO) group. Hierarchical restricted maximum likelihood linear mixed effect models evaluated differences in aggression from baseline to post-intervention and 3-, 6-, and 9-month follow-ups. Findings indicated that from baseline to post-intervention, verbal and physical aggression initially increased in Date SMART relative to KO, but then decreased at a greater rate in the Date SMART group than the KO group throughout follow-ups. Exploratory analyses indicated that victimization history moderated response to Date SMART and KO. Findings suggest that rates of multiple forms of violence can be reduced by Date SMART but may benefit from tailoring for peer relationships and victimization histories.</p>","PeriodicalId":47784,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aggression Maltreatment & Trauma","volume":"34 6","pages":"846-868"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12291173/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144733986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, in the present investigation, the link between social contact frequency and intimate partner violence (IPV) among patients with comorbid substance use and mental health disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic was examined. A total of 89 patients (61 women and 28 men) receiving outpatient care for comorbid substance use and mental health disorders completed questionnaires assessing their contact frequency with friends and family prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as physical and psychological aggression perpetration and victimization during the enactment of COVID-19 public health orders. Results indicated that a decrease in contact with friends and family during versus prior to the pandemic was negatively associated with both physical aggression perpetration and victimization, and not related to psychological aggression perpetration or victimization. Overall, the present results suggest that patients with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders are particularly vulnerable to experiencing bi-directional physical IPV during public health emergencies or national disasters. These findings underscore the importance of providers routinely assessing for violence in their patients' relationships, even in individual therapy, and provide resources and support to patients to help improve their social skills, reconnect with loved ones, or expand their social support networks to mitigate these risks.</p>","PeriodicalId":47784,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aggression Maltreatment & Trauma","volume":"34 2","pages":"185-203"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12176341/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144334198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
