      abstract = {This study explores whether a school-based group  counseling program for adolescent girls, implemented at  scale, can mitigate trauma-related mental health harms. In  a randomized trial involving 3749 Chicago public high  school girls, we find that participating in the program for  4 months induces a 22% reduction in posttraumatic stress  disorder symptoms and find significant decreases in anxiety  and depression. Results surpass widely accepted  cost-effectiveness thresholds, with estimated cost-utility  well below $150,000 per quality adjusted life year. We find  suggestive evidence that effects persist and may even  increase over time. Our results provide the first efficacy  trial of such a program specifically designed for girls,  conducted in America’s third largest city. These findings  suggest the promise of school-based programs to mitigate  trauma-related harms.},
