Summary
This study looked at whether a web-based program called webSTAIR, which teaches skills to manage emotions and relationships, is feasible and helpful for people with PTSD who are on a waitlist for behavioral health treatment. Seventy adults from a hospital clinic in Boston took part. The program includes self-paced online lessons and coaching from a community health worker. The goal was to see if people would use it and find it helpful, and to measure changes in PTSD symptoms.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a quick, accessible way to help people with PTSD manage their symptoms while they wait for more intensive therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is self-paced and may not be effective for all types of PTSD.
