All trials for PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder All trials of Combat Attention Training
Military service and reserve duty in combat units entails exposure to traumatic events that require mental adjustment. In light of the results of controlled studies that proved the effectiveness an response-time based mechanized training protocol in reducing risk for post-trauma symptoms in deployed combat soldiers, the Israeli Defense Forces decided at the beginning of the Iron Swords War to implement an internet-based App of the intervention. Soldiers and combat reservists were invited to use the Combat Attention App. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the Combat Attention App in relation to a control group of soldiers who did not use the App in reducing risk for post-traumatic stress symptoms of deployed soldiers.
Participants who used the Combat Attention App before combat deployment and a group of matched (age and sex) participants who did not use the App will be compared on PTSD, depression, and anxiety symptoms post deployment.
