Motivational Interviewing to Engage Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) Veterans in Mental Health Treatment
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Combat Disorders, Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic, Depression, Substance-Related Disorders
In brief
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the efficacy of telephone-administered motivational interviewing (TAMI) to enhance VA mental health treatment engagement among veterans of Operations Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Iraqi Freedom (OIF) who screen positive for mental health disorders on telephone assessment. The investigators will evaluate whether TAMI results in improved mental health treatment engagement, decreased mental health symptoms and increased quality of life among OEF/OIF veterans with mental health disorders. The long-term aim of this study is to conduct rapid assessment and intervention to prevent chronic mental illness and associated disability among our newest generation of veterans.
