Feasibility of multimodal group treatment for veterans with PTSD, depression, and high-risk drinking: A pilot study.

We report pilot data from 50 veterans who participated in this program and completed a posttreatment follow-up survey and program evaluation. Scores on measures of posttraumatic stress, depression, and high-risk drinking were significantly reduced at posttreatment follow-up. The dropout rate for this program (2.9%) was lower than veterans’ average dropout rate across all types of PTSD treatment (36%). Veterans’ perceptions of the program are discussed. Based on these findings, we discuss implications for working with veterans in brief MMGTs and conducting research on these interventions. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
