Helping Families Help Veterans With PTSD and Alcohol Abuse: An RCT of VA-CRAFT
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating VA-CRAFT and Control for PTSD and Alcohol Abuse. Completed, enrolled 66 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This project begins to evaluate the effectiveness of a web-based family outreach tool that is designed to promote treatment engagement among Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or alcohol use disorders (AUDs) but who have not yet engaged in mental health care. The National Center for PTSD has developed an on-line, Veteran-tailored, interactive web tool called VA - Community Reinforcement and Family Training (VA-CRAFT) that trains family members to effectively help their Veterans to engage in treatment for PTSD and/or AUDs. This project will provide preliminary information about VA-CRAFT's effectiveness.
