A Randomized Controlled Trial of Coaching Into Care With VA-CRAFT to Promote Veteran Engagement in PTSD Care

CIC+VA-CRAFT consists of four 45-min. telephone coaching calls over 8-12 weeks, delivered by a coach following a manual, while participants are completing the VA-CRAFT for PTSD web-based course.

Coaching Into Care is an existing national VA program that provides telephone consultation and coaching to family members of Veterans with mental health needs who want to help connect them with mental health care by providing referrals, educational information, and a unique coaching service to help callers talk to their Veterans about their decision to seek care.
