Innovative Service Delivery for Secondary Prevention of PTSD in At-Risk OIF-OEF Service Men and Women

Abstract

This report describes key research accomplishments for Innovative Service Delivery for Secondary Prevention of PTSD between 4/1/08 and 3/31/09. Previous progress reports detailed the initial, HSRO, Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), and R&D protocol approval process, the employment and training of study staff, the development of the treatment protocol manual, implementation of study procedures, and the submission of revisions to the protocol (including the addition of two, alternate research sites). This report focuses on the primary objectives for our first year including: a) achieving intra-facility (DOD, MUSC, VHA) compliance, b) the development and implementation of an efficient, sustainable, study-referral infrastructure, c) recruitment and enrollment of active duty participants, and d) refinement of administrative and clinical procedures. Additionally, we provide a detailed description of the study-related activities that occurred between 1/8/09 and 3/31/09. Practical strategies to enhance DOD/VHA research collaborations are discussed.
