Abstract
This study examines the acceptability of a school-based prevention program for traumatic stress delivered across the island of Puerto Rico 3 weeks after Hurricane Maria. Qualitative data analysis included 477 school personnel who completed the post-workshop questionnaire. The program was positively accepted, and we describe recommendations for future prevention programs.
