Window to Hope-Evaluating a Psychological Treatment for Hopelessness Among Veterans With Traumatic Brain Injury

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Traumatic Brain Injury, Hopelessness, Suicide

In brief

The purpose of this project is to provide further evidence regarding a groundbreaking psychological treatment for suicide prevention in individuals with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), Window to Hope (WtoH). The study will be one of the first five randomized clinical trials (RCTs) internationally to evaluate a psychological treatment for affective distress after TBI and the first conducted in the United States (U.S.) to specifically address suicide risk as an outcome. The current project aims to adapt WtoH for U.S. military personnel/Veterans (expert Consensus Conference, participant total up to 15), implement the intervention in a Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) (Pilot Groups 1-4, participant total up to 12), and replicate the results from the original trial in this novel context with a larger sample size (n=70 completed protocols \[up to 90 recruited\]. Deliverables are expected to include an intervention suitable for both dissemination and larger Phase III trials.
