Source: RAND Corporation. Published: 1/2020. This 143-page report identifies factors associated with changes in outcomes for soldiers who received Army behavioral health (BH) specialty care and provides recommendations to improve BH care and outcomes. Researchers identified three samples of soldiers who received Army BH care with diagnoses of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, or anxiety, and whose symptoms were assessed during their care. Recommendations include providing feedback and guidance to providers on how to strengthen alliance with their patients, and increasing provider use of measurement-based BH care. (PDF)
