Identifying predictors of treatment response in servicemembers with posttraumatic stress disorder- related sleep disturbances: use of large datasets to improve treatment selection over the military…

This two-year, $496,080 Cooperative Agreement from the Department of Defense Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences will fund a project to identify predictors of treatment response in service members with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-related sleep disturbances. Under the Uniformed Services University Medical Research Projects program (CFDA 12.750), investigators from the Henry M. Jackson Foundation For The Advancement Of Military Medicine Inc. and Harvard Medical School will analyze large datasets from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to determine if stable predictors can be found for differences in relative effectiveness of PTSD treatments across patients. The administrative principal investigator from Harvard Medical School, Dr. Ronald Kessler, will provide overall supervision of data analysis and collaborate with the primary investigators on cross-site activities and publications.
