Abstract
ABSTRACTPredictors of successful PTSD outcome have been examined through individually delivered treatments. We examined predictors using a group protocol with cognitive, exposure, and skills modules. Assessments included self-report and interview (CAPS, SCID-I/II) measures at baseline, post, and six months; treatment was a 16-week, three-member group for 32 OEF/OIF women Veterans. A regression analysis showed major depressive disorder and no baseline psychiatric medication predicted PTSD improvement. PTSD improvement predicted fewer outpatient medical visits at follow-up. The results supported past research and challenged other findings (e.g., sexual assault predicts less improvement). An additional unique contribution was examining predictors in a group treatment format.
