Adaptive Decision-making And Personalized Treatment for PTSD (ADAPT-PTSD)

This study is looking for veterans aged 18 or older who have Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and are not fully benefiting from their current treatment. You must also own a mobile device for a therapy app. Researchers want to see if trying different treatment strategies, like Modular Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Modular Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), or standard CPT, can help more. They also want to find out if text message prompts encourage you to complete homework between sessions. The main goal is to see if these changes improve your PTSD symptoms, measured by a questionnaire called the PCL-5, at 10 weeks, 20 weeks, and 9 months.

  • Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL-5)10 weeks, 20 weeks and 9 months

    The PCL-5 is a psychometrically valid measure and commonly used assessment of PTSD symptoms. A total score is calculated by adding up the ratings for each of the 20 items, which range from 0 to 4 (0=Not at all, 4=Extremely). Higher scores reflect more severe symptoms. A score below 31 generally suggests a sub-clinical range, while scores of 31 or above fall within the clinical range, indicating probable PTSD.
