This study reports on outcomes 2 years following completion of specialist veteran posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment programs in 2,223 (reduced to 1,508 at 24 months) consecutive admissions. Self-report measures of PTSD, anxiety, depression, anger, alcohol use, and general functioning were obtained at admission, 6, 12, and 24 months after admission. Significant improvements were demonstrated at 6 months, with smaller gains continuing through to 24-month assessment. Within subject effect sizes of around 0.8 were obtained for PTSD and around 0.5 for anxiety and depression. Although lack of a control group limits the extent to which improvements can be attributed to the treatment program, the data suggest that specialized treatment programs for combat-related PTSD continue to be of value.
本研究报告了2223例（24个月时减至1508例）连续入院的退伍军人创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）专科治疗项目结束2年后的结果。在入院时、入院后6个月、12个月和24个月获取了PTSD、焦虑、抑郁、愤怒、酒精使用及总体功能的自我报告测量数据。6个月时显示出显著改善，直至24个月评估时仍有较小程度的改善。PTSD的组内效应量约为0.8，焦虑和抑郁的组内效应量约为0.5。尽管缺乏对照组限制了将改善归因于治疗项目的程度，但数据表明，针对与战斗相关PTSD的专科治疗项目仍然具有价值。
