Abstract

Approximately 14% of military personnel and veterans who have deployed to the combat theater are at risk for combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The treatment of combat-related PTSD in active duty service members and veterans is challenging. Combat trauma may involve multiple high levels of exposure to different types of traumatic events (e.g., human carnage after explosive blasts, life threat/injuries to self/others, etc.). Many service members and veterans are unable or unwilling to receive treatment in government facilities due to avoidance, scheduling difficulties, transportation or parking problems, concerns about career advancement, or stigma associated with seeking treatment. Innovative treatment-delivery approaches are needed to help overcome these barriers. The present study is a randomized clinical trial to evaluate three versions of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT; [54]) for the treatment of combat-related PTSD in active duty military service members and veterans: (1) standard In-Office CPT, (2) In-Home Telebehavioral Health CPT from the provider's office to the participant's home, and (3) In-Home CPT in which the provider delivers treatment in the participant's home. Use of an equipoise-stratified randomization design allows participants to decline one of the treatment arms. This research design partly overcomes the problems active duty military and veterans face when receiving PTSD treatment by allowing them to opt out of one inappropriate or unacceptable treatment modality and still permitting randomization to the two remaining treatment modalities. This manuscript provides an overview of the research design and methods for the study.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 September 2018.
All research outputs
#20,663,600
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from Contemporary Clinical Trials
#1,598
of 1,967 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#266,386
of 342,525 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Contemporary Clinical Trials
#22
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,967 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 342,525 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
