What is it about?
Quickly predicting who may respond best to PTSD-related treatments in fast-paced and short-term Veteran care settings (e.g., primary care, rehabilitation) is difficult. Using the Middle-Out Approach and transdiagnostic and multidimensional information, the current study sought to determine who may or may not respond best to PTSD treatment in such brief integrated care settings.

Why is it important?
Our findings show that Veterans who are new to mental health treatment with moderate PTSD symptoms and physical health problems, but low dysphoria may respond best to PTSD-related interventions in brief integrated care settings, while others may require further individualized stepped-care. Understanding meaningful prognostic indicators for the treatment of PTSD can not only lead to greater treatment retention, success, and satisfaction among Veterans, but can conserve limited patient, clinician, and institutional resources.
