ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING

Building Experience for Treating Trauma and Enhancing Resilience (BETTER)

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a significant problem among underserved populations who receive care in community health centers. Several evidence-based psychotherapies for PTSD are not practical given the time and resources required for these approaches. This research will examine whether Written Exposure Therapy (WET), a brief and well-tolerated therapy approach, delivered within collaborative primary care is effective and can be implemented successfully within a collaborative care (CC) intervention. The primary aims of the proposed study are to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of delivering WET into CoCM to improve the management of PTSD among underserved primary care patients in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs).
