RESUMO
AIM: This exploratory study aimed to examine differences in rates of self and clinician-reports of trauma in youth at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR) and whether rates of reporting differed by ethnicity. METHODS: Self-reported history of trauma was collected at intake amongst youth at CHR enrolled in Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) services (N = 52). A structured chart review was conducted for the same sample to identify clinician-reported history of trauma throughout treatment in CSC. RESULTS: For all patients, frequency of self-reported trauma at intake to CSC (56%) was lower compared to clinician-reports of trauma throughout treatment (85%). Hispanic patients self-reported trauma at intake (35%) less frequently than non-Hispanics (69%) (p = .02). No differences were found in clinician reported exposure to trauma by ethnicity throughout treatment. CONCLUSION: Whilst further research is needed, these findings suggest the need for formalised, repeated, and culturally appropriate assessments of trauma within CSC.
