Which of the following is a CISD benefit?

• A. Increases aggression
• B. Reduces morale
• C. Hinders coping
• D. Provides info

Answer: (D)

After a traumatic event, people benefit from having clear information about what they might experience and what steps to take next. CISD provides explanations of common stress reactions, what is considered normal, and where to find help or resources. This information helps people understand their own responses, reduces uncertainty, and supports more effective coping and decision-making, which can also protect morale.

The other outcomes listed describe negative effects that CISD is not a benefit for—those would indicate increased aggression, lower morale, or hindered coping. Providing information aims to prevent those kinds of problems by clarifying expectations and resources.
