Summary

Recent Veterans of the OIF/OEF/OND conflicts are presenting in VA care with high rates of: PTSD, depression, anxiety, and alcohol abuse, reporting significant difficulties with community reintegration, and dropping out of mental health care at high rates. Surveys of recent Veterans show that Veterans want the VA to provide mental health care tailored to their concerns and reintegration priorities. The VA is committed to providing personalized, proactive, patient centered care (PCC); but little research or intervention development has been done on PCC in mental health care settings and preliminary research indicates Veterans may lack the skills and knowledge to be active partners in PCC. This study aims to examine PCC behaviors in VA mental health care and, informed by this data, develop a brief patient centered mental health intervention that will help recent Veterans take the lead in their care personalization and support their functional recovery. Results from this study will demonstrate the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of this intervention.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

person-centered mental health intervention

We anticipate that the PCMHI will be comprised of three, one-hour sessions offered over three to six weeks, scheduled at the participants' preference. Sessions will be one-on-one and the peer support specialist interventionist.

BEHAVIORAL

health and wellness

The control condition will be an educational health and wellness intervention for stress related disorders that will match the experimental condition for time and attention. The control condition will be three, one hour, individual sessions covering the symptom cycle, managing stress, and identifying social supports.
