Research to Improve Emotional Health and Quality of Life Among Service Members with Disabilities (RESTORE LIVES)

Abstract

This report provides a description of the Year 1 progress made for the project entitled Research to Improve Emotional Health and Quality of Life Among Service Members with Disabilities (RESTORE LIVES). There are 5 studies being conducted in this project, and final study protocols are complete for all studies. Institutional Review Board (IRB) submissions are in various stages with most fully approved. Participant recruitment is ongoing for 1 of the 5 studies (Study #2: In-person Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for Psychological Trauma) with the remaining studies nearing the time of participant enrollment and on schedule. To date, 10 of the 80 participants for Study #2 have been enrolled and randomly assigned, and recruitment is proceeding on schedule. The project has received considerable recent press coverage based on the potential of the therapies being studied (e.g. see "Could eye movements be Key to PTSD treatment? Tampa Bay Online (TBO.com)" http://www2.tbo.com/news/breaking-news/2011/may/23/ptsd-treatment-in-a-day-ar-208993/). No significant expected problems have been experienced to date, and no adverse events have been observed or reported. Multiple federal grant submissions have emanated from the work performed under this project. Budget expenditures to date are consistent with the approved Statement of Work and milestones.
