Stress Control for Military, Law Enforcement, and First Responders: A Systematic Review
Abstract
Over the past two decades, the U.S. Department of Defense has invested unparalleled resources into developing effective treatments for military-related psychological health conditions. Systematic reviews are a key component in the knowledge translation process and function to translate the available research into evidence-based health care guidelines that promote optimal clinical care. Although a few government agencies, including the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, have established evidence synthesis centers, there is no similar center within the Department of Defense that focuses exclusively on psychological health issues. Thus, the Southern California Evidence-based Practice Center, housed at the RAND Corporation, has been awarded a multiyear contract to synthesize research on psychological health interventions important to military populations. This document reports on the efficacy of Combat and Operational Stress Control and should be of interest to those implementing programs to address stress in active duty military personnel.
