Details
Data from a randomized experiment to reduce post-traumatic
stress by two treatments: Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR) (experimental treatment), and cognitive
behavioral therapy (CBT) (control treatment). 52 children
were randomized to one of these two treatments. Outcomes
were measured at three time points: at baseline
(pre-treatment, T1), post-treatment (T2, 4-8 weeks), and at
follow-up (T3, 3 months). For more details, see de Roos et
al (2011). Some person covariates were reshuffled. The
imputation methodology is explained in Chapter 9 of van
Buuren (2012).
