Summary

This study tests a stepped-care approach to help more people with PTSD get treatment. Participants start with an online skills program (webSTAIR) and can step up to brief therapy sessions if needed. The goal is to improve access, engagement, and symptom relief in routine primary care at Boston Medical Center.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
webSTAIR (online skills training), Brief STAIR, and Written Exposure Therapy
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
This is a relatively early study (Phase NA) with 428 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The interventions rely on self-report and may not work for all types of trauma.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
