Patient outcome reporting to speed PTSD diagnosis and care on Chicago's South Side

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

PORTAL-PTSD implements systematic PTSD screening in primary care clinics with high trauma prevalence, combining patient portal outreach and in-visit screening at Chicago Family Health Center sites on the South Side. The program targets adult patients who had a clinic visit in the past 24 months and have not been screened for PTSD in the last year. Investigators will track whether this population-health approach increases screening rates, identifies more patients with PTSD, and improves linkage to treatment compared with current practice. The approach builds on prior portal-based depression screening work and on clinic-based PTSD screening models used in high-risk settings.
