Characterization of the Use of Antipsychotics in PTSD During the Past Seven Years

Based on the public registry summary, this study is trying to understand: The primary objective is to examine the percentage of patients with PTSD who were prescribed an antipsychotic over the past seven years in the VA Network 7 (AL, GA, SC) and compare the percentage on an annual basis. We will also determine the type and dose of antipsychotics. The study team can confirm the exact objective and what it means for you.

The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.
