Abstract:

This report provides a description of the Year 2 progress made for the project entitled Research to Improve Emotional Health and Quality of Life Among Service Members with Disabilities RESTORE LIVES. There are 5 studies being conducted in this project and final study protocols and Institutional Review Board IRB approvals have been in place since Year 1. Year 2 has been devoted to subject recruitment, enrollment, retention, follow-up, and data analysis and dissemination activities. Four of the 5 studies have made significant progress in enrolling study subjects. The study entitled Modular Online Acceptance Commitment Therapy ACT Intervention for OIFOEF Veterans has continued to experience difficulty in developing and validating a fully functional online platform for this web-based study. Corrective actions for this study have been implemented. Several studies have disseminated early results in peer-reviewed venues, and manuscripts are in progress. Budget expenditures to date are consistent with the approved Statement of Work and milestones.
