Adaptation of the trauma group intervention ‘Teaching Recovery Techniques’ for online delivery: A participatory design and usability study
Background: Video-telehealth delivery of trauma-based care is promising and may help address structural and perceptual barriers to receiving support. However, existing evidence relies heavily on samples from adult populations. There is potential to transfer existing child and adolescent trauma inter...

| description | Background: Video-telehealth delivery of trauma-based care is promising and may help address structural and perceptual barriers to receiving support. However, existing evidence relies heavily on samples from adult populations. There is potential to transfer existing child and adolescent trauma interventions to a video-telehealth delivery format; but, this requires careful consideration. The aim of this project was to adapt a group-based intervention called Teaching Recovery Techniques for online delivery and investigate the usability of the new intervention format. Methods: A qualitative needs assessment was performed (n = 3 intervention leaders, 4 youth), followed by participatory workshops and advisory panel consultation to generate adaptation recommendations. Usability testing was performed in two cycles; the first tested the adapted manual with intervention leaders (n = 5), and the second tested newly developed digital resources with youth (n = 5). Results: The needs assessment uncovered a number of issues that, when generating recommendations, were distilled into three topics: safety, participation and learning. Recommendations included safety rules, an emergency response protocol, communication strategies, and guidance on group composition and intervention delivery. Usability testing indicated acceptability but highlighted the need for more detailed and explicit guidance, particularly on safety processes. Discussion: The present study demonstrates the potential for delivery format to affect intervention feasibility and acceptability, and provides recommendations that can be used to guide the transfer of other group-based mental health interventions to an online format. The young people, parents and professionals involved in the project provided rich and varied perspectives, which illustrated the value of broad stakeholder engagement. |
