Filter by:In response to the Rehabilitation Research and Development (RR&D) Deployment Health Research, this study addresses the delivery of an evidenced-based vocational rehabilitation, specifically Individual Placement and Support (IPS), for Veterans who are facing unemployment and mental illness as they try to recovery and re-establish civilian life. This study provides the requisite evidence needed to guide the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) as to whether to expand the target population for IPS to Veterans with any mental disorder, delivered directly within the primary care setting (i.e. Patient Aligned Care Team; PACT). Such modifications in VHA practice could substantially improve Veteran vocational rehabilitation access and outcomes, moving a significantly greater number of disabled Veterans back to full and productive lives in the community.
The goal of this project is to refine an existing compassion meditation protocol for individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), to examine the safety and feasibility of this approach and to collect data to make initial estimates of efficacy.
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 to female rural veterans, Reservists, National Guardsmen, and civilians suffering with PTSD. This study is an expansion, seeking to add a treatment arm of women, to an already CDMRP-funded study that completed in July 2014 treating male combat veterans with military-related PTSD. The long-term objective of this project is to disseminate an empirically sound TMH PTSD protocol for male and female veterans, Reserve and Guard that will extend the use of CPT to remote rural sites. It is hypothesized that using VTC, will be as effective as the in-person mode of service delivery for providing CPT.
The goal of this pilot study is to develop and implement a larger scale, multi-site stepped collaborative care trial that targets injured patients with presentations of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related comorbidities.
The aim of this study is to conduct a 12-week IPT+TAU versus wait list TAU in a cohort of HIV+GBV+ women in Nyanza Province to relieve depression and PTSD and improve ARV adherence. This pilot study will provide data on the efficacy trends, acceptability and feasibility of our IPT intervention and will generate preliminary findings for an R01-funded intervention to test the intervention's efficacy for remediating the effects of GBV trauma on mental health and HIV-related outcomes. Hypothesis 1: IPT+ TAU will be more effective for reduction of depression and PTSD than TAU alone. Hypothesis 2: IPT+TAU will be acceptable and feasible.
The primary goal of this study is to improve the overall efficacy of cognitive processing therapy-cognitive-only version (CPT-C) in a sample of 130 active-duty service members through a variable length treatment.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Cognitive Processing Therapy (cognitive only version; CPT-C) delivered using two different formats in the home setting for the treatment of combat-related PTSD as compared to conventional face-to-face CPT-C delivered in a mental health clinic. The study will include two different formats of in-home therapy: face-to-face in-home CPT-C and tele-behavioral health in-home CPT-C.
The purpose of this study is to see how well a treatment called "Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation" works for patients who struggle with symptoms of both posttraumatic stress disorder and major depressive disorder.
The research project will offer psychotherapeutic treatment to Somali refugees with PTSD and comorbid khat dependence. In this case series, evidence-based techniques will be applied and adapted to the cultural background of Somali refugees in Kenya.
There is a strong association between sleep disturbance and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Sleep disturbance is also highly comorbid with other common conditions associated with suicide such as depression and posttraumatic stress disorder. Accordingly, this application focuses on improving sleep as a novel suicide prevention strategy that can be delivered to a broad range of Veterans. This pilot proposal specifically examines how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, an efficacious treatment for insomnia, may reduce suicidal ideation in Veterans who also suffer from additional conditions. The proposal further suggests that adding this sleep intervention to usual care may further enhance overall care by increasing the utilization of recommended treatments for depression and posttraumatic stress disorder.
