Summary

The goal is to improve access, engagement, and symptom relief in routine primary care at Boston Medical Center.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a stepped approach using online modules and brief therapy sessions helps more people with PTSD get effective care and feel better.

What could go wrong
