Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn more about Narrative Exposure Therapy for Justice Involved Veterans. This pilot study will examine the feasibility of this intervention in a justice-involved veteran population, and will see whether the intervention needs to be tailored to best meet their needs. The investigators will examine whether the intervention impacts key clinical outcomes, including posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, as well as on measures of moral injury, anger, depression, suicidality, and aggression.


Clinical Trial Description

The overall objective of this application is to gather data on the use of Narrative Exposure Therapy for Justice Involved Veterans (VETNET) in a pilot sample of justice-involved Veterans with PTSD, with a particular focus on obtaining data on feasibility and acceptability of the intervention in a justice-involved veteran population, and determining what further adaptations are needed to tailor this intervention to justice-involved Veterans (JIV). The investigators are also interested in evaluating whether the intervention has the potential to have an effect on key clinical outcomes, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, as well as on measures of moral injury, anger, depression, suicidality, and aggression. The following Specific Aims have been developed for this project: Aim 1: Evaluate study feasibility and treatment delivery procedures of Narrative Exposure Therapy for Justice Involved Veterans (VETNET) in justice-involved Veterans (JIV) with PTSD. Data gathered will include recruitment rates, drop-out rates, adverse event frequency and severity, and participant engagement in treatment. As necessary, identify further adaptations that are needed to tailor this intervention specifically to JIV. Aim 2: Evaluate the impact of VETNET on PTSD symptoms, as well as on related outcomes including moral injury, anger, depression, suicidality, and aggression. ;
