This project addresses the need for research on service delivery approaches for Service Members with combat-related physical or psychiatric symptoms, including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and/or post-concussive symptoms. As a primary care encounter, the post-deployment health reassessment (PDHRA) process is critical to force health protection efforts. The project will develop and test the effectiveness of a sharply focused training and feedback intervention designed to increase Service member reports of behavioral health concerns and Service member acceptance of a referral for further assessment. The project has two aims. (1) Determine key elements of and short term impact of training programs for deployment related assessments. (2) Evaluate the effectiveness of a targeted training and feedback program on primary care provider s interview and clinical communication patterns related to Service member behavioral health condition identification and referrals. To accomplish these aims, a training workshop that incorporates experiential learning strategies and evidence-supported characteristics of high quality communication training programs will be piloted at 3 sites with an estimated total of 20 providers.

Progress in completing planned Year 1 SOW activities has been delayed due to several factors, including: (1) delays in completing an agreed upon data use agreement for data required by Vanderbilt and Purdue to complete analyses relevant to the training and feedback intervention design; and (2) the 2010 NDAA Sec. 708 levied additional requirements that were not anticipated at the outset of the study, which directly impacted the study design. Despite these delays, substantial work has been completed in literature review, in psychometric analysis of materials to be used in the study, in staffing and approval processes completed, in completion of data use agreements with the Army, Navy, and Air Force, in formation and receipt of guidance by the Expert Panel, and in development of a strong working relationship among FHP&R, Vanderbilt, and Purdue. Year 2 is expected to be highly productive. Early in Year 2, it is expected that data will be received and the training and feedback intervention design will be finalized. Implementation of the pilot is expected by May, 2011 with data collection to continue for four months. This will be followed by analysis and manuscript preparation. Vanderbilt expects these activities to extend beyond the current period of performance and plans to request a one-year extension to allow adequate time to complete the SOW.
