Summary
This is a randomized controlled study comparing telephone-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for recent survivors of traumatic events with Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) or acute PTSD with a waitlist control group. Survivors with PTSD from both groups will receive face-to-face CBT one month from the traumatic event. The study's main hypothesis is that early telephone-based CBT will reduce the prevalence of PTSD three and eight months after the traumatic event.
