This study is testing a treatment called Prolonged Exposure for Primary Care (PE-PC) to help First Responders and Health Care workers with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a condition that can happen after experiencing a very scary or dangerous event, causing feelings of stress even when the danger has passed. The study compares PE-PC with the usual help given by Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). To be part of the study, you must work for an organization that has an EAP, have a high score on a PTSD checklist, and have had stable medication for at least four weeks. If you have very serious mental health problems or need detoxification, you won’t be able to join. The study will help us see if PE-PC can better reduce PTSD symptoms and improve daily life functions.
- This study involves talk therapy sessions.
- Participants must work where there is an EAP.
- Excludes people with severe mental health issues.
