Increasing the Effectiveness of CBT for Anxiety in Veterans by Involving Family Members.

VA Office of Research and Development·interventional·Posted Apr 22, 2022·Updated Sep 5, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Adjunctive Family - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety Disorder. Completed, enrolled 48 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Despite the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder and anxiety disorders among Veterans, there has been limited focus on the development of interventions that include family members in treatments provided to Veterans. This is a feasibility study that examines a novel adjunct intervention (Adjunctive Family-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; AF-CBT) developed for family members of Veterans undergoing behavioral treatment for anxiety-based disorders. Phase one involves piloting AF-CBT with family members and conducting qualitative interviews to obtain feedback about the utility and acceptability of the intervention. The refined protocol will be used in phase two, which involves an open trial where Veterans and family members will complete the intervention and attend a 1-month follow up assessment, including a qualitative interview.
