Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in PTSD Symptoms (as Measured by the PCL-5)

    The PCL-5 is a 20-item self-report measure designed to assess PTSD symptoms as defined by the DSM-5. Each item of the PCL-5 is scored on a five point scale ranging from 0 ("not at all") to 4 ("extremely"). Items are summed to provide a total severity score (range = 0-80).The PCL-5 has strong internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and convergent and discriminant validity. Scores ≥ 33 indicate a probable diagnosis of PTSD. Data presented represent a change from baseline PCL-5 assessment to the 4-month PCL-5 assessment (e.g., value at baseline minus value at 4 months).

    Baseline, 4-months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in Depressive Symptoms (as Measured by the PHQ-9)

    Baseline, 4-months

  • Change in Recovery Goals (Measured by the Recovery Assessment Scale; RAS)

    Baseline, 4-months

  • Change in Posttraumatic Cognitions (Measured by the Post-Traumatic Cognitions Inventory; PTCI)

    Baseline, 4-months

Study Arms (1)

PE-PC

EXPERIMENTAL

Eligible participants who present to participating CHCs and screen positive for PTSD will be offered PE-PC via telepsychiatry.

Behavioral: PE-PC

Interventions

PE-PCBEHAVIORAL

PE-PC treatment will follow the PE-PC manual and patient workbook. Treatment content for PE-PC is drawn from the PE model and condensed so as to deliver the most efficacious components of PE. PE-PC consists of four, 30-minute appointments scheduled approximately once a week over 4-6 weeks
