Summary

This study tests a program called Parenting STAIR Modular (PSTAIR-M) for military-connected mothers who have experienced trauma and have young children aged 2-10. The program helps mothers manage PTSD and depression symptoms while improving their parenting skills. Researchers will compare PSTAIR-M to standard treatments to see which works better.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Parenting-STAIR Modular (PSTAIR-M) - a behavioral therapy program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a more effective way to help military moms manage PTSD and depression while improving their parenting skills.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to all military moms. The therapy is compared to other treatments, and it may not prove more effective.
