Reducing Anxiety and Stress in Primary Care Patients: Pilot RCT of a Brief Intervention (CDA 15-262)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Brief anxiety intervention and Usual PC-MHI care for Anxiety. Completed, enrolled 35 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Anxiety is common among primary care patients, but is undertreated. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a brief anxiety treatment designed for VA primary care is more effective at reducing anxiety symptoms in Veterans compared to usual care. The investigators will also examine whether Veterans like the brief treatment and whether the treatment can be feasibly delivered in primary care. Forty-eight adult Veteran primary care patients from the Syracuse VAMC who are experiencing anxiety symptoms will be recruited and randomly assigned to receive the brief anxiety treatment or usual care. The brief treatment consists of up to six 30-minute sessions with a cognitive-behavioral skills focus. The investigators will compare anxiety symptom severity between the two groups at baseline and at post-assessment 16 weeks later.
