Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Despite the high prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder in Pakistan, research on psychosocial intervention is limited. We propose to investigate the acceptability, feasibility and effectiveness of manual assisted Learning Through Play (LTP) Plus culturally adapted Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) among parents experiencing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). LTP Plus is proposed as a low cost intervention to improve parents' mental and physical health, and promote healthy child development. The LTP research-based activities enhance children's development while simultaneously promoting attachment security through building parents' ability to read and be sensitive to their children's cues and through active involvement in their children's development. This will be integrated with Trauma Focused CBT.

Purpose of this RCT is to determine the effectiveness of LTP plus TF- CBT intervention. The study will be conducted in two cities of Pakistan, Karachi and Peshawar.Participants will be screened using Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) and eligibility checklist. Those scoring 24 or above will be eligible for more in depth assessment. Assessments will be done at baseline and after completion of intervention. Outcome assessments will be done by independent Research Assistants blind to group allocations.
