National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) Quality Improvement Initiative Database

The proposed study is to request permission to continue federally mandated data collection to
examine the clinical outcomes of children at the Family Center at Kennedy Krieger Institute
who are enrolled in evidence-based and promising trauma-informed treatments as part of the
National Child Traumatic Stress Network funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration. The purpose of the National Child Traumatic Stress
Initiative(NCTSNI) Evaluation is to determine the extent to which the NCTSI, through the
National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN), has raised the standard of care and improved
access to services for traumatized children. In addition, the evaluation assesses the extent
to which the NCTSI has served as a national resource capable of improving children's access
to high-quality, trauma-informed mental health services. This data, previously collected and
managed by the Category I NCTSN Center at Duke will now be managed by ICF Macro in a data
system entitled NICON.
