VA Office of Research and Development·interventional·Posted Sep 28, 2016·Updated May 11, 2020

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating DESTRESS-WV and Phone Monitoring for PTSD. Completed, enrolled 102 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate an online PTSD intervention that was adapted for women Veterans, called DElivery of Self TRaining and Education for Stressful Situations-Women Veterans version (DESTRESS-WV). The intervention consists of structured online sessions as well as weekly brief phone calls for additional support with a study coach. Women Veterans with PTSD who are eligible will be randomized to receive either DESTRESS-WV or phone monitoring only for 8 weeks. Participants will be assessed immediately post-treatment as well as at 12 and 24 weeks post-treatment. Investigators hypothesize that participants randomly assigned to DESTRESS-WV will have a greater decrease in severity of PTSD symptoms compared to those randomly assigned to phone monitoring only.

Interventions

DESTRESS-WVbehavioral

This is an online intervention for PTSD tailored for women Veterans. The intervention is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The goal of CBT is to help people recognize and address their thoughts and behaviors in positive ways with the aim of improving their ability to function as well as possible in their lives. Participants will be asked to log on to the website twice per week for about 30-60 minutes each time. Homework assignments will include stress management skills that participants will be asked to practice and apply. A study coach will call each participant once a week for 8 weeks for about 15 minutes to review their progress with the program.

Phone Monitoringbehavioral

A study coach will call participants once a week for 8 weeks for approximately 15 minutes. The coach will assess participants' PTSD symptoms and safety. She will encourage participants to use the time on the call to discuss any current life issues or problems that they would like. Active listening and rephrasing will be used, while teaching cognitive-behavioral strategies will be avoided.
