Evaluation of Web-Based CBT for Women Veterans With PTSD
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: PTSD
In brief
The purpose of this study is to evaluate an online PTSD intervention that was adapted for women Veterans, called DElivery of Self TRaining and Education for Stressful Situations-Women Veterans version (DESTRESS-WV). The intervention consists of structured online sessions as well as weekly brief phone calls for additional support with a study coach. Women Veterans with PTSD who are eligible will be randomized to receive either DESTRESS-WV or phone monitoring only for 8 weeks. Participants will be assessed immediately post-treatment as well as at 12 and 24 weeks post-treatment. Investigators hypothesize that participants randomly assigned to DESTRESS-WV will have a greater decrease in severity of PTSD symptoms compared to those randomly assigned to phone monitoring only.
