Summary

The purpose of this study is to implement an evidence-based Referral Management System that will address patient and system-level barriers to the uptake of evidence-based psychotherapy for PTSD by Veterans Affairs primary care patients.

Conditions

  • Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Referral Management System

Referral Management System (RMS) will address patient-level barriers with the delivery of a 1-session cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention to identify and change treatment seeking beliefs that serve as an barrier to treatment engagement, including specific negative beliefs about EBP (e.g., "talking about past trauma will be too difficult for me"). RMS will address system-level barriers by tracking the progress of RMS referrals and contacting Veterans who have not followed thought on their chosen referral options. Primary Care staff will also be trained with simple scripts on how to address PTSD symptoms and make appropriate referrals based on VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guidelines for PTSD.
