Enhancing BATTLEMIND: Preventing PTSD by Coping with Intrusive Thoughts
Abstract
Over the course of the award period, we implemented a variety of recruitment techniques to rapidly boost interest in the study, and were able to make excellent progress with enrolling recently returned Soldiers. As a result of our aggressive recruitment techniques, ongoing positive relationships with Ft. Drum personnel, and frequent travel to Ft. Drum for implementation of study groups, we have come very close to our target enrollment of 1,600 Soldiers (a total of 1,442 enrolled participants at the close of this Award Period). Preliminary quantitative data analyses on Phase 2 data for 1,197 participants has shown support for the RESET training, and all trainings continue to be well received by participants. We are pleased to have been granted a one year extension to complete data collection and data analyses. We are behind in meeting data related milestones as the project sample has doubled in size, and we are currently understaffed. We remain optimistic that there will be additional funding granted to support the hiring of personnel to support the completion of these milestones. In Year 4 we will continue recruitment and enrollment of Phase 2 participants until the sample is reasonably complete. We then anticipate beginning quantitative data analysis.
