3/2024 PTSD Repository - Redesigned
We are excited to announce that the PTSD Repository has a new look, redesigned to streamline users based on their primary interest in working with the data. For Researchers, we offer tools and information to facilitate downloading the data to perform meta-analyses and systematic reviews. For Providers, we offer stories that summarize data in the PTSD Repository and a table that can be filtered to identify studies of specific treatments of interest. Our section For Everyone has short stories that offer "quick facts" about PTSD clinical trials in the PTSD Repository. There are also Other Resources for all resources to learn about PTSD treatments and use our data. Let us know if you have any questions: NCPTSD@va.gov.
