About this study

Official title: Patient Beliefs and Attitudes That Influence Participation in PTSD-TBI Clinical Trials

This is an exploratory qualitative interview study being conducted with a primary objective of examining perceptions held by active military and veterans regarding help-seeking attitudes and mental health beliefs which influence the decision to consent or decline participation in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) clinical trials. Active duty military and/or veterans aged 18 years and older who consent to participate (N = 50), or have recently declined participation (N = 50), in an INTRuST affiliated outpatient clinical trial for deployment-related PTSD or TBI will be recruited. Participants who consent to participate in an INTRuST clinical trial (Group 1) will be interviewed once at the beginning the of the clinical trial, and again following participation in the trial. Participants who decline participation in an INTRuST affiliated outpatient clinical trial (Group 2) will be interviewed once. For participants in both groups, study participation will initiate within 1 month of referral to study. Total duration of study participation is based on the specific clinical trial that the participant is recruitment from; the longest trial is estimated to be 24 weeks or less. Semi-structured qualitative individual interviews will be conducted to carry out a thematic analysis of the data exploring familial, social and institution-level constructs which may influence the subjective experience of the research treatment process.

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Perceptions about participation in clinical trials for PTSD or TBI as measured via qualitative interview.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Feasibility of conducting qualitative interviews with active duty military and veterans who consent or decline participation in a PTSD or TBI clinical trial as measured by study participation.

    Feasibility will be determined by the number of participants anticipated vs. the number actually enrolled in the current study.
