FY08 DRMRP Clinical Trial: Strengthening Pathways to PTSD Recovery Using Systems-Level Intervention

Abstract

Over the course of the last year, the study team received IRB approval and began recruiting participants from the remaining study site, Ft. Bragg, and continued recruitment at the other five study sites (Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Ft. Bliss, Ft. Campbell, Ft. Carson, and Ft. Stewart). As of August 31, 2013, 1,320 total referrals across the six sites had been received; 666 participants had been enrolled and randomized into the study (332 participants into the STEPS UP arm; 334 participants into the optimized usual care arm); 556 participants completed the 3-month follow-up assessment; 418 participants completed the 6-month follow-up; and 181 participants completed the 12-month follow-up. At the end of June 2013 we stopped recruitment at five sites (JBLM, Ft. Bliss, Ft. Carson, Ft. Stewart, and Ft. Bragg), and stopped recruitment at Ft. Campbell at the end of July 2013. Multiple amendments have been approved by the WRNMMC IRB, including allowing for reimbursement for trial participation and offering multiple methods for collecting follow-up data. The study intervention has been refined; we continue site personnel training and coaching in the intervention and study procedures as well.
