Brief Summary | The immediate objective of this project is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of a telemental health modality (video-teleconferencing) for providing an evidence-based group intervention (Cognitive Processing Therapy; CPT) to rural OIF/OEF Reservists, National Guardsmen, and veterans suffering with PTSD. |
||||||||
Detailed Description | The proposed project is a 5-year prospective randomized clinical trial which conducts a direct comparison of the VTC and in-person modalities using rigorous methodology and a sophisticated analysis of equivalency between clinical and process outcome domains. In addition, cost effectiveness of this modality will be addressed. Approximately 130 combat Reservists, National Guardsmen, or veterans will be recruited from multiple clinical sites. Prospective participants will receive a comprehensive assessment at baseline to determine eligibility. The exclusion criteria selected are consistent with large PTSD randomized clinical trials as well as research using the CPT protocol with military populations with PTSD. The treatment will be delivered twice a week over 6 weeks by a doctoral level psychologist. Quality control procedures will be incorporated into the study's design to ensure integrity, fidelity and standard administration of the CPT intervention across both conditions. Participants will receive additional assessments at mid-treatment, immediately post-treatment, and at 3 and 6 months post-treatment. Outcome domains include: 1) clinical outcomes (symptom severity, social functioning); 2) process outcomes (perception of treatment, satisfaction, group therapy alliance, treatment compliance, and attrition and treatment credibility); and (3) cost-effectiveness outcomes. |
