Web-Based MOVED Intervention for Veterans with PTSD
This study is testing a web-based program called MOVED (Moral Elevation Intervention) for Veterans with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). MOVED involves 8 self-guided online sessions over 4 weeks, designed to inspire you by others' positive actions and help you set goals. It's being compared to a Supportive Care Control group, which also involves regular web-based sessions that provide information about PTSD symptoms. The study aims to see if MOVED can improve PTSD symptoms, your quality of life, and daily functioning. You might be able to join if you are a Veteran, have a current PTSD diagnosis for at least one year, have internet access, and are enrolled in a VISN 17 health care system. The study plans to enroll 250 participants, and its current status is unclear.

Subscales scores are computed by summing all items for each subscale, then all scores are transformed to a range of 0-100. A higher score signifies higher or better quality of life.
