Self-Help Intervention for Post 9/11 Veterans With Depression or PTSD Symptoms (NCT07202325)
A Self-Help Intervention to Improve Functioning, Symptoms, and Treatment Utilization Among Non-Treatment Engaged Post 9/11 Veterans With Depression or PTSD Symptoms
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
It is important to provide support and resources for the many post-9/11 Veterans with mental health symptoms and poor psychosocial functioning who do not engage in psychotherapy. One of the biggest reasons post-9/11 Veterans do not seek treatment is a preference to handle problems on their own. This study examines a self-help intervention that teaches Veterans healthy coping strategies they can use on their own and how to seek out recovery support services such as mental health treatment or whole-person care if they decide to do so in the future. This study will compare the impact of self-help and standard resources at improving mental health and resource utilization. Two hundred Veterans will complete 6 brief assessments across 40 weeks.
