Relationship Factors Contributing to the Progression of Combat Related PTSD and Suicidality Over Time
Abstract
The RAMP project is designed to examine the key social context of intimate romantic relationships of active duty Army soldiers, and how interpersonal processes in this type of relationship can affect psychological functioning over time. The ultimate goal of this knowledge will be to enhance existing programs and therapies for military couples. This study will consist of confidential online surveys to be completed by active duty Army males recently returned from an OEF deployment, along with their significant romantic partner. A total of 5 surveys across a two year period will be administered. In this report period, the study team has developed the surveys, protocol, recruitment materials and website, all planned participant communications, and participant payment processes. The study has passed initial reviews by the University of Colorado Institutional Review Board (COMIRB), US Army Medical Research & Materiel Command (USAMRMC) Human Research Protection Office (HRPO), and NIMH Certificate of Confidentiality (COC) program, and is currently undergoing final reviews before proceeding to recruitment and data collection.
