TI  - Single-session behavioral treatment of earthquake-related posttraumatic stress 
      disorder: a randomized waiting list controlled trial.
PG  - 1-11
AB  - In an attempt to develop a brief treatment for disaster survivors, the present 
      study examined the effectiveness of a single session of modified behavioral 
      treatment in earthquake-related posttraumatic stress disorder. Fifty-nine 
      earthquake survivors in Turkey were randomized into either single-session 
      modified behavioral treatment (SSBT) designed to enhance sense of control over 
      earthquake-related fears or waiting list control condition (WL). The WL group 
      received SSBT after a second baseline assessment. Follow-ups were at weeks 6, 12, 
      24, and at 1-2 years posttreatment. Significant treatment effects were found on 
      all measures at posttreatment. The improvement rate was 49% at week 6; it rose to 
      80% by week 12, 85% by week 24, and 83% by the 1-2-year follow-up. Brief 
      behavioral treatment has promise as a cost-effective intervention for disaster 
      survivors.
