Abstract

During this research period, three enrollment sites, Weill Cornell Medical College, the Southern California Institute for Research and Education (SCIRE) at the VA Long Beach Healthcare System (Long Beach VA), and the National Intrepid Centers for Excellence (NICoE) in Bethesda, Maryland have continued enrolling, assessing, and treating participants in accordance with the protocol. Extensive recruitment efforts are being undertaken at all sites, and site specific and study wide recruitment strategies have been developed. As of this writing, across the three enrolling sites, 600 individuals have completed the telephone screen, 219 have completed the baseline assessment, 107 have completed treatment, 95 have completed the 3-month follow-up assessment, 12 people are currently in treatment, and 42 have dropped out of the study.
