Participant Flow

Recruitment for this project was ongoing from June 2016 through June 2021. Prior to the Coronavirus pandemic, recruitment efforts were focused in Charleston, South Carolina (clinics, online, community). In 2020, the study team shifted to a full remote approach and opened recruitment across the continental United States.

Participants were stratified by alcohol use disorder severity and posttraumatic stress disorder severity. Stratified random block randomization was used to balance the randomization assignment with respect to these strata. The purpose of stratification is to distribute these potential prognostic factors equally across treatment groups.

Change in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder symptom severity as measured by Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-5) for clinician-rated posttraumatic stress symptoms. The CAPS-5 is a 30-item structured interview. CAPS-5 total symptom severity score is calculated by summing severity scores for the 20 PTSD symptoms, each with severity scores ranging from 0-4. The overall total severity score for CAPS-5 ranges from 0-80, with lower scores representing better outcomes (less severe PTSD).
