TI  - An explorative outcome study of CBT-based multidisciplinary treatment in a 
      diverse group of refugees from a Danish treatment centre for rehabilitation of 
      traumatized refugees.
PG  - 248-70
AB  - A group of highly traumatized refugees n = 26 with diverse cultural backgrounds 
      in a Danish Clinic for Traumatized Refugees (CTR) was assessed for symptoms of 
      post-traumatic stress disorder and other aspects of general functioning. Patients 
      were assessed at intake, after the end of treatment and six months later. The 
      results point to very high symptom levels and a large need for treatment in this 
      population. Psychiatric symptoms and their correlates were assessed with the 
      Harvard Trauma Questionnaire (HTQ), the Trauma Symptom Checklist-23 (TSC-23), the 
      Global Assessment of Function (GAF), and the Crisis Support Scale (CSS). The 
      Trail Making Test A & B (TMT) was used as a screening instrument for acquired 
      brain damage, with promising results. Indications of effectiveness from 16-18 
      weeks of multidisciplinary treatment (physiotherapy, pharmacotherapy, 
      psychotherapy, and social counseling) were supported with small to medium effect 
      sizes on most outcome measures. The results are discussed in terms of clinical 
      implications and future treatment, assessment, and research needs.
