| Purpose: |
|
This project will evaluate variations of the inital PTSD C&P interview on the examination
process..
|
| Study summary: |
|
Our objective is to compare the process and outcomes of C&P exams for PTSD conducted with
CAPS and WHODAS-II interviews versus the PTSD exams conducted without the CAPS and WHODAS-II
interviews. This project will conduct a randomized controlled trial on 688 veterans to
evaluate the effects of the CAPS/WHODAS instruments on the initial PTSD C&P examination
process. Study outcomes include variation in assessing the DSM-IV components of PTSD,
diagnostic accuracy, veteran perception of the exam process, VBA rater utility and resource
utilization. This project will 1) demonstrate the feasibility of conducting program
evaluation and intervention studies on the PTSD C&P examination process, 2) develop research
tools, instruments and methods for C&P evaluation, 3) provide data on the value-added
contribution of CAPS and WHODAS-II to the PTSD assessment process and examination report,
and 4) inform the business case of utilizing the CAPS and WHODAS-II in the PTSD C&P process.
The ultimate aim is to improve the reproducibility, consistency and validity of the PTSD
examination process while maintaining a level of efficiency and cost restraint that provides
veterans with an exam process that is fair, accurate and equitable across VHA. |
