Study Summary
Thousands of mental health mobile applications (apps) are available but limited research has been conducted on their effectiveness. VA has been a leader in mental health mobile app development and must research whether these apps work, and if so, how? PE Coach is a well-designed treatment companion app to one of the most researched, efficacious psychotherapies for PTSD (prolonged exposure), a treatment that has been broadly disseminated throughout VA mental health clinics. Research suggests that VA therapists find the app helpful in supporting patients. Preliminary results suggest that Veteran patients prefer to receive therapy with PE Coach and Veterans complete more recovery-oriented homework when they do. This study will randomize 124 Veterans with PTSD to treatment with or without PE Coach. The project will evaluate the effect of the app on PTSD-related functioning, quality of life, and PTSD symptoms. The investigators will test whether the app improves functioning and symptoms, increases homework, and reduces drop out.
Primary Outcome
The PRFI is a 33-item, self -report measure of,functioning related to three domains: work and school, relationships, and lifestyle. Each domain is assessed with two subscales, including a Symptom Cluster Impact scale, which assess the impact of each DSM-5 PTSD symptom cluster on functioning in that domain, and a Total Symptom Impact subscale, which assesses the impact of all PTSD symptoms.
