Telehealth 2.0: Evaluating Effectiveness and Engagement Strategies for CPT-Text for PTSD
Recruiting
I'm InterestedTrial ID: NCT05037175
Purpose
There is a pressing need to increase capacity to treat PTSD related to or exacerbated by the
COVID-19 pandemic. Texting-based therapy holds promise to increase capacity and reduce
barriers to delivering evidence-based treatments (EBTs), but ongoing engagement in digital
mental health interventions is low. This study will compare a texting-based EBT for PTSD to
culturally-informed texting-based treatment for PTSD as usual, and it will also compare a
unique incentive strategy to typical platform reminders aimed to prevent early
discontinuation in therapy.
