PTSD Clinical Trial
Official title:
Supporting Education Goals of OIF/OEF Veterans With PTSD: Pilot Process & Outcome
The goal of this project is to gather data necessary for a full scale trial of a supported education service for OIF/OEF veterans with PTSD. Forty Veterans with PTSD will be randomly assigned to an intervention group (N=20) that receives a weekly supported education intervention and a control group that receives services as usual plus an hour of attentive intervention not focused on education. We will assess and compare the number of hours of participation in community education settings and on acquiring an educational goal for the Veterans in each group.
Goal: The goal of this project is to gather data on feasibility and effect size necessary
for a full scale trial of a supported education service for Operation Iraq and Enduring
Freedom (OIF/OEF) veterans with PTSD that will contribute to its evidence-base. Supported
education is a rehabilitation and recovery based intervention that is new to VHA services
and that responds to an expressed but unmet need among these warriors with war-related
trauma. We propose to conduct a pilot of a supported education service and employ a process
and outcome evaluation.
Anticipated Impacts on Veterans Healthcare: Veterans with post traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD) possess educational aspirations. Due to limited education and disability adjustment,
many such veterans unsuccessfully locate employment or obtain entry level jobs with limited
advancement opportunities. Even with current GI Bill funding increases, veterans experience
non-financial barriers to their pursuit of educational goals. Supported education is a
strategy developed within the civilian population that facilitates skill, career, and
educational goals within post-secondary educational settings. It has been shown to increase
educational engagement, participation, and completion, as well as improve empowerment and
school efficacy. We hypothesize that supported education tailored to returning Veterans will
result in similar outcomes.
Aims and Objectives: The goal of this project is to gather data necessary for a full scale
trial of a supported education service for OIF/OEF veterans with PTSD. The following are the
aims and objectives:
Aim 1: Using a randomized controlled design, assess the magnitude of the effect of a
supported education service on hours of participation in community educational settings and
on acquiring an educational goal. Objective: Assess the number of hours of participation in
community education settings and on acquiring an educational goal for 40 Veterans with PTSD
who are randomly assigned to an intervention group (N=20) that receives a weekly supported
education intervention and a control group that receives services as usual plus an hour of
attentive intervention not focused on education.
Aim 2. To examine whether the supported education intervention has secondary effects for
improving PTSD symptoms and attitudes on recovery. Objective: Conduct pre- and post
assessments of recovery attitudes and of PTSD symptoms, and then compare the control and
intervention group for changes in these scores.
Aim 3. To acquire additional process information on the design and implementation of a
supported education service necessary for a successful larger trial. Objective: Conduct a
process evaluation of the implementation strategies for: participant recruitment,
participant drop-out, technician training procedures, technician recovery promoting
competence, and curriculum content and pacing using a standardized assessment, exit
interviews, peer notes and study records.
