The purpose of the study is to gain new knowledge about the experiences of family members of service members who are experiencing symptoms of PTSD or severe depression. The study is multi-method, with an initial qualitative phase (Phase 1), and a follow-up longitudinal, quantitative phase (Phase 2). During Year 3, Phase 1 received approval from FBCH Department of Research Programs (DRP), WRNMMC IRB, GMU IRB, and USAMRMC ORP HRPO. A practice focus group was held, recruitment materials were prepared, and recruitment began at FBCH. Additionally, Phase 2 IRB review began, with approval from FBCH DRP and WRNMMC IRB. GMU IRB review was underway at the end of Y3. All materials for Phase 2 have been purchased and prepared. Finally, a 1-year no-cost-extension was approved.
