A Randomized Effectiveness Trial of a Systems-Level Approach to Stepped Care for War-Related PTSD

Abstract

Over the course of the last year, the study team concluded enrollment at all study sites as well as data collection for the 3- and 6-month follow-up assessments. Data collection for the 12-month assessment occurred during this period, concluding at 5 of the 6 sites (Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Ft. Bliss, Ft. Carson, Ft. Stewart, and Ft. Bragg) and is ongoing at the remaining site (Ft. Campbell). As of August 31, 2014, 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); 618 participants completed the 3-month follow-up assessment; 600 participants completed the 6-month follow-up; and 573 participants completed the 12-month follow-up. Plans for analyses and presentations were developed and several presentations were made. A journal paper was submitted describing the design of the trial.
