GRIT Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Once potential participants have given consent and determined eligible, they will undergo an initial assessment.Pre, post- and follow-up testing. This consists of verbal scales including emotional well-being scales and mental health symptom scales. They will be administered in a group 30-60 minute session. Neuropsychological testing and psychophysiological tests given will require 90 minutes. Neuropsychological testing will be completed at pre and post testing only. In order to ensure unbiased assessment, pre- and post- and follow-up testing will be conducted by individuals blinded to study condition. Randomization. After pre-testing, all individuals will be randomly assigned to either the active treatment group or minimal attention control condition. After this, intervention participants will meet in small groups of 10 per group for 90 minutes/week over five weeks for resilience training. After five weeks, all participants will be post-tested.
Group II: ControlExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
While intervention participants receive resilience training, the control group will not receive training but will receive minimal attention of a bi-monthly telephone call to indicate to participants that they are still enrolled in the study. A monthly flyer will be mailed to them about wellness and PTSD in recent news coverage. Following completion of an intervention group, participants and controls will be scheduled for post-testing that will be identical to the pre-testing and will occur within two weeks after the final treatment session. After the post-testing and 3-month follow up testing, the controls will be offered the resilience training
