Testing Adaptive Interventions to Improve Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Treatment Outcomes in Federally Qualified Health Centers

Обзор

This trial is being completed to develop a stepped-care talk therapy model for patients with PTSD. Specifically, this study is testing whether beginning with one type of therapy is better than beginning with another type of therapy, and whether moving to a different therapy after four sessions is more helpful than staying with the same therapy, depending on how well it is working. The central hypothesis is that beginning with a low- or medium-intensity PTSD intervention and then titrating intensity based on early indications of response will result in clinically significant PTSD symptom reduction with parsimony of resources.

Вмешательства

• Поведенческое Prolonged Exposure for Primary Care (PE-PC)
  Treatment follows the standardized PE-PC manual and workbook.PE-PC consists of four weekly 30-minute sessions. In vivo and imaginal exposure are introduced at the first session and reviewed at Sessions 2-4. To conduct in vivo exposure, participants repeatedly and systematically approach objectively safe people, places, objects, and situations that they avoid because these stimuli remind them of their trauma. At the 4th session or 9-week assessment point (whichever comes first), early responders
• Поведенческое Full Prolonged Exposure
  Treatment will follow the standardized PE manual. Participants will have 60 minute sessions once a week for eight weeks During these sessions, participants will practice in vivo, imaginal, and emotional exposure as well as continue these exposure exercises every day at home.
• Поведенческое Clinician Supported PTSD Coach App
  This is a brief psychotherapy that uses the PTSD Coach mobile app developed by the study team. The PTSD Coach app incorporates evidence-based assessment, psychoeducation, and cognitive behavioral therapy and self-management strategies that are customizable to the user.
