Iraq and Afghanistan War Veterans completed questionnaires to determine whether aggressive behavior following deployment was related to alcohol problems, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or combat exposure.
Objective: To examine the effectiveness of group cognitive processing therapy (CPT) relative to trauma-focused group treatment as usual (TAU) in the context of a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) residential rehabilitation program.
Researchers examined the effectiveness of group cognitive processing therapy (CPT) relative to trauma-focused group treatment as usual (TAU) at a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) residential rehabilitation program.
Objectives: This study assessed posttraumatic growth (PTG) in a sample of U.S. Army Soldiers using the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), and the relationship between PTG and negative behavioral health (BH) conditions.
Recently deployed Soldiers were surveyed to assess the relationship between posttraumatic growth (recognized benefits from overcoming a very challenging life circumstance), combat exposure, and negative behavioral health conditions (suicidal ideation, alcohol misuse, depression, posttraumatic str
Objective: Multiple trials have found telephone-administered cognitive behavioral therapy (T-CBT) to be effective for the treatment of depression.
The effectiveness of telephone-administered cognitive behavioral therapy (T-CBT) was examined for U.S. Veterans who screened positive for depression and were served by community-based outpatient clinics.
Traumatic combat events can lead to neurobehavioral and stress-related symptoms among military troops. Physical injuries received during combat are associated with increased symptom report.
Data from U.S. Military Service members who received mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) due to explosive/blast munitions while deployed in Iraq assessed their current symptoms through surveys.
Objectives. We examined the association of military service history with past-year suicidal ideation and past-30-days mental distress in a probability-based sample of adults. Methods.
