PTSD And Depression in Military Members and Recommendations for Program Evaluation of Evidence-Based Practice

摘要

A critical review of evidence-based literature addressing screening, barriers to treatment, treatment modalities and programs of care for posttraumatic stress disorder and depression in active duty military members was conducted using the Galvan method. The ONS levels of evidence and the ONS weight of evidence scale were used to critique and analyze extant research. Programs of care and their evaluation were reviewed. Gaps in research were identified and suggestions for evidence-based treatment and program evaluation of evidence-based treatment of PTSD and depression in military members are proposed.
