Official title
Adaptation of the STAIR-NT Intervention to Respond to Psychological Health Conditions for First Responders With a History of Traumatic Brain Injury
Overview
This study is a randomized controlled pilot examining the implementation of an adapted intervention, Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation-Narrative Therapy (STAIR-NT), among a first responder population with a history of TBI and PTSD.
Detailed description
The primary objective of the study is to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of an evidence-based intervention, STAIR-NT, which will be adapted with Goal Management Training (GMT). A small-scale randomized control pilot will be conducted using the adapted intervention to examine implementation (i.e., feasibility, acceptability) and improvements in short-term PTSD, as well as secondary mental health outcomes (e.g., anxiety, and depression symptoms, substance misuse) among a first responder population with a history of TBI and PTSD.
Interventions
