Summary

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a significant public health challenge with population prevalence rates in the US between 6.1 to 9.2%. There are large racial and socioeconomic inequities in access to PTSD treatment, as up to half (30-50%) of patients in safety net clinical settings meet criteria for PTSD, yet only 13% receive any behavioral health treatment. Workforce shortages are one major barrier to accessing care. Additional barriers to care can include heightened mental health stigma and mistrust of health services.

Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) may be suitable within the continuum of care for PTSD in hospital settings, given their potential for rapid-access, scalability, and the high acceptability of DMHI among individuals with high stigma and social needs. Among the available DMHIs for PTSD, the investigators have selected web-administered Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (webSTAIR), based on emerging scientific evidence and a close collaboration with Boston Medical Center (BMC) users (patients and providers) in a previous pilot study in primary care.

The aim of this randomized study is to implement webSTAIR at BMC in the Recovery from Stress and Trauma through Outpatient Care, Research, and Education (RESTORE) Center's subspecialty clinic.
