The delayed interventioncomparison group did not undergo CBITS during the first 3 months of the study.At the 3-month assessment, students in the early intervention group had significantlylower self-reported symptoms of PTSD than did students in the delayed interventiongroup. At 6 months, after the delayed intervention group completed the CBITSintervention, a difference no longer existed between the groups. At 3 months,scores for self-reported symptoms of depression were lower than in those ofthe delayed intervention group. At 6 months, this significant difference nolonger existed.

At 3 months, the adjusted mean difference was −1.0 on the actingout behavior scale, 0.1 on the shyness/anxiousness scale, and −1.1 onthe learning problems scale.
