结局指标
主要结局
Patient-reported PTSD Checklist
时间窗: Pre- to post-treatment (~20 weeks)
Patient self-reported total severity score on the PTSD Checklist - Specific (PCL-S) version. Possible range of scores 17-85. Higher = worse.
Percentage Days of Heavy Drinking
时间窗: Pre- to post-treatment (~20 weeks)
Percentage days of heavy drinking (PDHD) was calculated by dividing the number of days in which the Veteran consumed more than six standard drinks by the total days in the period. Both partners reported upon the Veterans' drinking behaviors. Following common practice in AUD research (e.g., McCrady, Epstein, Cook, Jensen, \& Hildebrandt, 2011), we used the highest report of the two regarding PDHD to reduce possible underreporting. Possible range of scores 0-100%. Higher = worse.
Clinician-administered PTSD Scale (CAPS)
时间窗: Pre- to post-treatment (~20 weeks)
Total severity score on the CAPS was used. Higher = worse outcome. Possible range of scores 0-135.
Partner-reported PTSD Checklist
时间窗: Pre- to post-treatment (~20 weeks)
Partner-reported total severity score for patient's PTSD symptoms on the PTSD Checklist - Specific (PCL-S) version. Possible range 17-85. Higher = worse.
