Many veterans receive behavioral health care services from providers in their communities. The Community Provider Toolkit (the Toolkit) is a website developed by the National Center for PTSD and the Department of Veterans Affairs intended to provide community mental health care providers with key veteran-focused educational resources. This mixed-methods study examined the potential impact of the Toolkit on provider knowledge and behaviors. Sixty-four clinicians in the community who currently or plan to provide services to veterans were surveyed. The majority of providers found the website useful and easy to navigate. After visiting the site, many providers found additional online and educational resources that they would add to a hypothetical treatment plan. Forty-five providers completed a 1-month follow-up survey focused on use of the Toolkit. Results indicate that the Toolkit may be a valuable tool for increasing provider knowledge about veteran-specific resources.
许多退伍军人从他们所在社区的提供者那里获得行为健康护理服务。社区提供者工具包（Toolkit）是一个由国家创伤后应激障碍中心和退伍军人事务部开发的网站，旨在为社区心理健康护理提供者提供重点关注退伍军人的关键教育资源。这项混合方法研究调查了 Toolkit 对提供者知识和行为的潜在影响。对社区中目前或计划为退伍军人提供服务的 64 名临床医生进行了调查。大多数提供者认为该网站有用且易于浏览。访问该网站后，许多提供者发现了其他在线和教育资源，他们将这些资源添加到假设的治疗计划中。45 名提供者完成了一项为期 1 个月的后续调查，重点是使用 Toolkit。结果表明，Toolkit 可能是增加提供者对退伍军人特定资源的知识的有价值的工具。
