Summary

This trial will study how well a computerized training program works to help veterans with PTSD and AUD.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for OIF/OEF/OND veterans at risk for PTSD (with a PCL-5 score of 33 or higher) and/or AUD (AUDIT score of at least 7 for women, 8 for men). It's not suitable for individuals with active suicidal/homicidal thoughts, psychosis, severe alcohol use disorder, high risk or treatment history for sleep apnea.
What is being tested?
The study examines the impact of computerized training aimed to modify harmful response tendencies and lessen the link between sleep issues, emotional and behavioral dysregulation, AUD symptoms, and PTSD symptoms in real-world settings among veterans.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves computerized cognitive behavioral management (CBM) rather than medication or invasive procedures, side effects may be minimal but could include discomfort from confronting traumatic memories during PTSD CBM or frustration if tasks are challenging.
