Summary

This study will evaluate the impact of a psychosocial intervention, Coping Coach, delivered online to children who have experience an acute medical event. The core study hypotheses are that children receiving the intervention will (1) endorse fewer maladaptive trauma-related appraisals and (2) demonstrate more adaptive coping (more support-seeking, more cognitive restructuring, less avoidant coping) at a 6-week follow-up, and (3) demonstrate lower severity of post traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms and higher health related quality of life (HRQOL) at 12 week follow-up.
