- Abstract
Objective: The present study evaluated the feasibility of integrating a clinical feedback mechanism into trauma-focused psychosocial recovery research., Methods: Ethnoculturally diverse mental health consumers (N = 172) participating in a study of trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder were provided the option to have their personal research data disclosed to their treatment providers to guide recovery treatment., Results: The majority of consumers (68%) requested that researchers disclose their personal trauma information to their treatment providers. Disclosure rates were similar across gender and racial background; however, rates were significantly higher for consumers exposed versus not exposed to childhood sexual abuse (81% vs. 64%, respectively)., Conclusions and Implications for Practice: Study findings suggest that consumers are open to sharing sensitive information collected during research participation including history of trauma exposure and trauma-related difficulties with recovery providers, and support the viability of incorporating individualized clinical feedback into trauma research to promote recovery care., ((c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved.)
