Implementation of an Evidence Based Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Treatment in Public Sector Settings
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
In brief
Researchers hope to learn whether a flexibly applied cognitive behavioral treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is more effective than the psychotherapy usually provided in the clinic (called Treatment as Usual or TAU). Primary Hypothesis: STAIR/NT will be superior to TAU in improving PTSD symptoms at 28, 36 and 48 weeks post-randomization
