The translational work carried out by the Center on Trauma and Children is organized  around a central theme, and collaborative efforts and interaction among independent projects and their investigators to achieve a common goal. These projects involve:

• Mechanistic studies designed to identify predictors of adverse outcomes in children exposed to maltreatment, traumatic events and violence
• Behavioral health services outcome research
• Community-based participatory research
• Translational studies on the efficacy and effectiveness of tools and interventions to address secondary traumatic stress and related conditions
• Epidemiological research on the incidence and prevalence of maltreatment trauma and violence against underrepresented subgroups of children
• Implementation studies designed to understand how evidence-based practices are implemented and taken to scale
