Trial Outcomes & Findings for Cognitive-Behavioral Conjoint Therapy (CBCT) Project (NCT NCT02720016)
NCT ID: NCT02720016
Last Updated: 2022-03-07
Results Overview
The CAPS-5 is a 30-item clinician administered interview designed to diagnose current and lifetime PTSD and to assess PTSD symptom-severity over the past week. The interview assesses 20 DSM-5 PTSD symptoms as well as onset, duration, distress, and functional impact, overall validity, PTSD severity, and presence of dissociation. Prior to assessing symptoms, the clinical interviewer works with the patient to establish an index-trauma and each follow-up question focuses on symptoms as they relate to the index trauma. \*Score range: 0-80 with higher score indicating greater symptom severity

Participant Flow
During the recruitment period from October 2016 to March 2020, we received 706 referrals from the myriad of community-based outpatient clinics (CBOCs; e.g., VA Mission Valley Clinic), VA associated clinics (e.g., Family Mental Health), and self-referrals, typically from Veterans who see our study ads (both virtual and physical) in the La Jolla VA Main Hospital.
