Implementing and Evaluating a Patient-Centered PTSD Treatment Program for Military Personnel
The purpose of this research study is to learn about how Shared Decision Making, when used to decide treatment, impacts treatment engagement, retention, and outcomes for active duty military personnel seeking treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Shared Decision Making between the service member and the therapists will be used to match patients to 1 of 3 different types of therapy for PTSD: (1) Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy, (2) Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), or (3) Written Exposure Therapy (WET) in 1 of 2 different frequencies: (1) massed (daily) or (2) spaced (weekly).
• Adult active duty military service members aged 18 or older.
• Meets diagnostic criteria for PTSD based on the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (CAPS-5).
