Study Summary
The overall goal of this project is improve access to and engagement in quality care for military service personnel and Veterans suffering with posttraumatic stress (PTS). Veterans often present to their primary care providers with symptoms of PTS and related physical problems; however, most primary care providers have not been trained to care for Veterans with PTS or communicate with them in ways that motivate them to engage in care. In this study instigators propose to design, test and prepare to implement a Virtual World PTS and Motivational Interviewing training for primary care providers by taking the following steps: (1) partner with stakeholders to iteratively design the training which takes full advantage of the affordances of Virtual World technology to enhance training interactivity, effectiveness, and durability, (2) perform a randomized control trial to compare the virtual world training with an online training, and (3) summarize the findings and prepare for implementation and dissemination of the new training by soliciting feedback from primary care providers who participated in the training and from original project stakeholders.
Primary Outcome
Use standardized patient interviews to observe change in Motivational Interviewing (MI) skills to assess and manage PTSD symptoms and to motivate engagement in care.
