Exposure to traumatic events has reached unprecedented proportions in American society, and the rates of PTSD have risen significantly, particularly among populations with repetitive exposure to critical incidents. The continued threat of attacks against Americans warrants development of preventive interventions to reduce the occurrence of PTSD and its precursor, ASD. This study will determine the feasibility of a preventive treatment in urban firefighters who have experienced a traumatic event.
In part one of the study, firefighters were administered a baseline assessment that included an interview and self-report questionnaires to measure depression, anxiety, coping skills, social support, physical health, and work functioning. In part two of the study firefighter focus groups were conducted to determine the feasibility of a one session cognitive behavioral treatment session that was developed to target cognitive, behavioral and physiological responses to stressors commonly associated with firefighting. Data analysis is ongoing.
