Summary

This study will evaluate a program designed to increase military treatment facilities' use of Prolonged Exposure (PE), an evidence-based psychotherapy for PTSD. The results will determine whether this program increases PE use and improves patient outcomes compared to conventional provider training in PE, and feedback from clinic leaders and staff will be used to gauge program usability, identify successful components, and refine program for expansion.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Targeted Assessment and Context-Tailored Implementation of Change Strategies (TACTICS)

TACTICS begins with a mixed methods assessment (using data from medical records, staff surveys, and staff interviews) to identify barriers and facilitators of PE use in each clinic. From a menu of implementation strategies that can be matched to local conditions, an implementation plan is developed in collaboration with clinic personnel and deployed to address specific barriers and leverage strengths at each clinic site over a 5-month period.

BEHAVIORAL

Prolonged exposure training

Providers will receive a 2-day workshop training in the delivery of prolonged exposure, followed by weekly phone clinical consultation.
