Web and Shared Decision Making for Reserve/National Guard Women's PTSD Care
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Nurse Care Manager (NCM) for PTSD. Completed, enrolled 171 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Women and Reserve/National (RNG) Veterans are among the fastest growing groups of new VA users. While PTSD is prevalent in this group, most women don't access or complete needed treatment. This study will investigate Operation enduring/Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn (OEF/OIF/OND) RNG female war Veterans' perceptions, preferences, barriers and facilitators to accessing VA mental health (MH) and evidence-based PTSD psychotherapy. This information will be used to revise an existing web-based screen that educates participants about their unique post-deployment MH conditions. This web-interface will then be used to randomly assign women who screen positive for PTSD to either 1) a concierge nurse case manager who uses shared decision-making to engage Veterans in EBP or 2) usual outreach to determine what engagement approach women prefer. The investigators' findings will provide VA leaders with key information to understand and improve access to RNG PTSD treatment.
