Previous studies suggest that group "mantram" (sacred word) repetition therapy, a non-trauma-focused complementary therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), may be an effective treatment veterans. The authors compared individually delivered mantram and another PTSD.The study was two-site, open-allocation, blinded-assessment randomized trial involving 173 veterans diagnosed with military-related PTSD from two Veterans Affairs outpatient clinics (January 2012 to March 2014).

Importance Alcohol genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have generally focused on alcohol consumption and use disorder (AUD); few examined habitual drinking behaviors like maximum intake (MaxAlc). Objectives To identify genetic loci associated with MaxAlc to elucidate the architecture across traits. Design, Setting, Participants This study was performed among Million Veteran Program participants enrolled from January 10, 2011, September 30, 2020. Ancestry-specific GWASs were conducted in...
Research site mentorship has a positive impact on study enrollment. The VA Cooperative Studies Program's (CSP) Network of Dedicated Enrollment Sites (NODES) utilized an existing model to onboard 13 new expansion sites. We describe the successes, challenges, and lessons learned during development implementation this in paper. NODES established "Site Mentorship/Expansion Workgroup (SWG)" October 2020 plan guide consortium providing services other clinical research networks, non-Node CSP sites,...
Statistics show that more than 80% of Veterans mention posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-related symptoms when seeking treatment. Sleep disturbances and nightmares are among the top 3 presenting problems. Current PTSD trauma-focused therapies generally do not improve sleep disturbances. The mantram repetition program (MRP), a mind-body-spiritual intervention, teaches portable set cognitive-spiritual skills for symptom management. aim this study was to evaluate efficacy MRP on insomnia in...
Recruitment into clinical trials remains a key determinant to study completion and success. While various strategies have been proposed, it is unclear how they apply across different populations, diseases, and/or goals. The ability effectively overcome challenges may require approaches that more broadly focus on addressing obstacles among sites cannot be by individual studies.The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Cooperative Studies Program (CSP) established the Network Dedicated...

Access to healthcare delivery programs and systems is a primary correlate the overall health well-being of Veterans general population. Participation in clinical research gateway novel therapies that are intended address current global issues. Meeting or exceeding recruitment goals one key determinants timely successful completion study. The travel time burdens experienced by study participants often considered barriers their enrollment into research. Department Affairs (VA) Cooperative...

The cost of conducting clinical trials is continuously increasing and driven in large part by the time resources required to activate reach accrual targets. impact low enrollment a trial can negatively affect validity study results delay its generalizability broader population.

Furthermore, controlled obvious relevance systematic reviews if...
Behavioural responses vary significantly within the Reptile Class when stressed, fearful or frustrated, making it very difficult to observe measure their emotional state. Reptiles are not commonly seen in general veterinary practice which can mean that suitable accommodation is always available, and as there a huge variation reptile’s ability, lack of, signal changes state, be challenging for nurses identify address stress response. The reduce negative behavioural by managing transportation,...
