Study Summary

This study is Phase 3 of Project SERVE (Study Evaluating Returning Veterans' Experiences). Through two prior phases, SERVE has followed a cohort of post-9/11 Veterans since 2010 and has identified numerous risk and protective factors. SERVE's overall objective is to understand and improve the long-term functional outcomes of post-9/11 Veterans. Consistent with the investigators' conceptual model, the central hypothesis is that psychological flexibility and other trans-diagnostic treatment targets mediate the effects of the most common mental and physical wounds of war on long-term functioning and self-directed violence (i.e., suicide risk). Thus, integrated interventions specifically designed to improve functioning associated with these conditions are most likely to promote long-term recovery among the most impaired Veterans. The investigators will test the central hypothesis and accomplish the overall objective by pursuing the following specific aims: Aim 1: Identify treatment targets that prospectively predict functional disability, family functioning and self-directed violence (SDV) in post-9/11 Veterans with PTSD, depression, chronic pain, TBI, and/or AUD. To achieve this aim, the investigators will follow 500 Veterans for 2 years in order to prospectively evaluate the impact of several novel, treatment-relevant factors on functional disability and SDV over time. H1: Novel factors (mindfulness, perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belongingness, and moral injury) along with established treatment targets (psychological flexibility, self-compassion, and emotion regulation) will prospectively predict functional disability and SDV after accounting for covariates.

Primary Outcome

The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS; Posner et al., 2008) is a state-of-the-art suicide assessment for individuals perceived to be at high risk for suicidality. Internal consistency ranged from .73 to .95 (Posner et al., 2011). Values on the intensity of suicidal ideation (e.g., frequency, duration, controllability, deterrents, reasons for ideation) are summed to create a total score; range from 0 to 25, where higher scores indicate higher SI severity.
