Testing Adaptive Interventions to Improve Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Treatment Outcomes in Federally Qualified Health Centers (NCT05457985)

Testing Adaptive Interventions to Improve Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Treatment Outcomes in Federally Qualified Health Centers

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿง  Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: University of Michigan

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This trial is being completed to develop a stepped-care talk therapy model for patients with PTSD. Specifically, this study is testing whether beginning with one type of therapy is better than beginning with another type of therapy, and whether moving to a different therapy after four sessions is more helpful than staying with the same therapy, depending on how well it is working. The central hypothesis is that beginning with a low- or medium-intensity PTSD intervention and then titrating intensity based on early indications of response will result in clinically significant PTSD symptom reduction with parsimony of resources.
