Improving Access To Services to Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOC's)
- Conditions
- Panic Disorder
- Registration Number
- NCT01346241
- Lead Sponsor
- Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of delivering IPCT in three rural VA community based outpatient clinics (CBOCs).
- Detailed Description
We will first need to develop a more thorough understanding of the potential barriers associated with implementing this novel form of treatment in these settings by conducting focus groups at each facility. This information will then be used to modify the treatment, which will then be piloted with Veterans enrolled in these clinics who have panic disorder.
