Advancing a Research Agenda for Trauma-informed Care in Behavior Analysis.

Trauma-informed care (TIC) refers to the guiding principles that inform how organizations or individuals arrange services with respect to acknowledging both the prevalence and potential effects of trauma on the people they support. Discussions about TIC have become increasingly prevalent in applied behavior analysis in recent years, suggesting that the topic is relevant to both our science and practice. However, research evaluating the degree to which TIC values are embedded in applied behavior-analytic work, and the relative benefits and potential costs of doing so, has been lacking. The purpose of this article is to provide some suggestions about how we might begin to fill that gap.
