Ensuring Active Duty Service Members with PTSD Receive Evidence-Based Treatment

Abstract

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health disorder affecting as many as 20% of veterans who have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. The Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense have issued an evidence-based clinical practice guideline for the management of PTSD; however, some literature suggests that adherence to the treatment guidelines are low and do not meet evidence-based standards. This paper describes a program evaluation project, examining current PTSD treatment practices for active duty Soldiers diagnosed with PTSD at Fort Bliss, Texas.
