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

What this trial studies

This randomized trial compares web-based, AI-assisted training to standard live training for Written Exposure Therapy, targeting mental health providers who work with U.S. veterans and service members with PTSD. The study looks at provider competency, the number of patients treated, and cost-effectiveness. It includes live workshops, web-based modules, consultation calls, and an AI coaching tool to support ongoing skill development. Participants must be licensed providers serving veterans, and those who have already completed formal WET training are excluded. The project is led by UT Health San Antonio with collaborators from Stanford, MUSC, and Boston University.
