Enhancing Battlemind: Preventing PTSD by Coping with Intrusive Thoughts

Abstract

Over this award period, data collection for this study was completed; awarded supplemental funding statistical support as well as a research technician was added. We were able to continue our working relationship with Camber Corporation, and have been pleased with the ongoing work that they have been doing on our statistical efforts. Additionally, we have been able to make significant progress regarding the transcription and coding of our qualitative data (intrusive thoughts). This included the addition of a qualitative expert and two no-cost volunteers to the study. Analyses for the primary hypotheses are underway, however we have already begun to synthesize and disseminate preliminary findings via a presentation, a poster, and a completed manuscript. Another Phase 1 manuscript is in progress. Additionally, at the time of this report, a Phase 2 manuscript is in the planning stages and we anticipate that we will proceed quickly with additional dissemination. Finally, we are exceptionally pleased that we have been able to meet the milestones outlined in the SOW to this point and look forward to completing all milestones in the coming year, thanks in large part to the granting of additional funding as well as the ability to extend our period of performance for an additional no-cost
