摘要

This report provides a description of the Year 3 progress made for the project entitled Research to Improve Emotional Health and Quality of Life Among Service Members with Disabilities (RESTORE LIVES). There are 5 studies being conducted in this project and final study protocols and Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvals have been in place since Year 1. Years 2 and 3 were devoted to subject recruitment, enrollment, retention, follow-up, and data analysis and dissemination activities. Four of the 5 studies made significant progress in enrolling study subjects. The study entitled Modular Online Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Intervention for OIF/OEF Veterans experienced difficulty in developing and validating a fully functional online platform for this web-based study. Several studies have disseminated results in peer-reviewed venues, and peer-reviewed publications are emanating from 4 of the 5 studies. Budget expenditures to date are consistent with the approved Statement of Work and milestones.
