DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over 2/3 (69%) of veterans from Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) at Veterans' Administration (VA) medical centers screen positive for mental health problems. The most prevalent is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Substance use problems are also prevalent, particularly among veterans with PTSD symptoms. Despite their mental health needs, OEF/OIF veterans with PTSD are more likely to seek treatment for physical complaints than for mental health concerns. Although behavioral health care has been integrated into primary care in VA medical centers, veterans encounter significant barriers accessing this care. Although, psychosocial interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) have been found to be efficacious for the treatment of problematic substance use and PTSD, providers in non- specialty care are unlikely to have the time or proper training to deliver this complex intervention. To address this public health concern, we propose to modify the content of an efficacious web-based CBT intervention for individuals with substance use disorders (Therapeutic Education System; TES), to target substance use, PTSD and other problems common among OEF/OIF veterans. The specific aims are: AIM 1. Develop an interactive, web-based psychosocial treatment for OEF/OIF veterans with hazardous or problematic substance use and PTSD symptoms. The planned intervention will be theoretically grounded in a CBT approach and will be delivered via an interactive system that employs informational technologies which are effective in promoting knowledge and skills. Development will be informed by expert collaborators, focus groups of OEF/OIF veterans, and feedback sessions in which experts and a 2nd group of veterans are asked to evaluate a beta-version of the program. AIM 2. Evaluate the efficacy of the web-based intervention with OEF/OIF veterans with hazardous or problematic substance use and PTSD symptoms. We plan to conduct a controlled trial in two primary care VA treatment centers. Participants will be randomized to: (1) Treatment as Usual (TAU) reflecting the model of treatment provided to most OEF/OIF veterans (n=81) or (2) TAU plus the web-based CBT intervention (n=81). Primary outcomes will be: a) number of heavy drinking days and/or number of days of illicit or non-prescribed drug use in the past 30 days; b) Quality of Life; and c) PTSD symptoms. AIM 3. Evaluate the cost and cost-effectiveness of the web-based intervention plus TAU relative to TAU alone. Cost-effectiveness ratios will be estimated to identify the incremental costs of the web-based intervention per increased quality adjusted life years (QALYs) and increased abstinence. Analysis will consider costs and cost effectiveness from a societal perspective, as well as from the VA system perspective to inform the adoption decision at a program level. Results of this study have the potential to markedly improve psychosocial treatment for substance use and related disorders among OEF/OIF veterans and enable rapid and widespread diffusion of a science-based intervention to this population. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Although a significant minority of veterans from Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) in VA primary care centers present with co-occurring PTSD and substance use problems, most do not receive adequate treatment. To address this public health concern, we propose to modify the content of an efficacious web-based CBT intervention that will target substance use, PTSD and other problems common among OEF/OIF veterans, and will conduct an economic analysis that will compare costs & benefits of our web-based intervention with usual treatment at VA primary care settings. Results of this study have the potential to markedly improve psychosocial treatment for substance use and related disorders among OEF/OIF veterans and enable rapid and widespread diffusion of a science-based intervention to this population.

描述（由申请人提供）：在退伍军人管理局（VA）医疗中心，超过2/3（69%）的来自持久自由行动（OEF）和伊拉克自由行动（OIF）的退伍军人在心理健康问题上筛查呈阳性。最普遍的是创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）。药物使用问题也很普遍，特别是在有创伤后应激障碍症状的退伍军人中。尽管OEF/OIF退伍军人有心理健康需求，但他们更有可能因身体不适而寻求治疗，而不是心理健康问题。虽然行为健康护理已被纳入退伍军人医疗中心的初级保健，但退伍军人在获得这种护理方面遇到了很大的障碍。虽然，认知行为疗法（CBT）等社会心理干预措施已被发现对问题药物使用和创伤后应激障碍的治疗有效，但非专业护理的提供者不太可能有时间或适当的培训来提供这种复杂的干预措施。为了解决这一公共健康问题，我们建议修改针对物质使用障碍个体的有效基于网络的CBT干预（治疗教育系统；TES）的内容，以针对OEF/OIF退伍军人中常见的物质使用、创伤后应激障碍和其他问题。具体目标是：为有危险或问题物质使用和创伤后应激障碍症状的OEF/OIF退伍军人开发互动式、基于网络的社会心理治疗。计划中的干预措施将在理论上以认知行为治疗方法为基础，并将通过一个采用有效促进知识和技能的信息技术的互动系统提供。专家合作伙伴、OEF/OIF退伍军人焦点小组以及要求专家和第二组退伍军人评估项目测试版的反馈会议将为开发提供信息。目标2。评估基于网络的干预对有危险或问题物质使用和PTSD症状的OEF/OIF退伍军人的疗效。我们计划在两个初级护理退伍军人治疗中心进行对照试验。参与者将被随机分为：(1)常规治疗（TAU），反映了大多数OEF/OIF退伍军人的治疗模式（n=81）或(2)TAU加基于网络的CBT干预（n=81）。主要结局将是：a)过去30天内酗酒天数和/或非法或非处方药使用天数；b)生活质量；c)创伤后应激障碍症状目标3。评估网络干预加TAU相对于单独TAU的成本和成本效益。将估算成本-效果比，以确定每增加质量调整生命年（QALYs）和增加戒断的基于网络干预的增量成本。分析将从社会的角度考虑成本和成本效益，以及从VA系统的角度来告知项目层面的采用决策。这项研究的结果有可能显著改善OEF/OIF退伍军人对物质使用和相关疾病的心理社会治疗，并使基于科学的干预措施能够迅速和广泛地传播到这一人群。
