Targeted Strategies to Accelerate Evidence Based Psychotherapy (EBP) Implementation in Military Settings

Purpose of the first phase 12 to max.18 months of this project is to complete all administrative activities preparatory to research. During this report period four performance sites were confirmed including completion of site visits and identification of most of the Site PIs. We are in correspondence with three additional sites that have voiced strong interest in the study and are continuing site recruitment efforts despite challenges specifically with recruiting Navy sites. We obtained approval from Stanford IRB IRB of Record, NDRI our subcontractor SSICs IRB, VAPAHCS RDIS and the IRB package was submitted to one of our military IRBs David Grant Medical Center for Travis Air Force Base with approval anticipated in Fall 2018. We keep finalizing study procedures and processes and submitted drafts of the Needs Assessment Interview Guide and TACTICS Implementation Manual as well as quarterly project reports according to our SOW deadlines. We continue to obtain IRB approvals for all entities involved in human subject research and to define the process of accessing identifiable AHLTA Progress notes for PTSD patients at participating sites according to the approved DoD contract.
