Predicting treatment dropout among veterans receiving prolonged exposure therapy.
Overview
This study analyzes demographic and clinical data from over 2,600 veterans in the U.S. Veterans Health Administration to identify predictors of dropout during prolonged exposure therapy. The authors found that age was a significant predictor of treatment discontinuation, whereas initial symptom severity and early symptom course were not. Although clinicians frequently attributed dropout to patient distress or avoidance, the data indicated that symptom exacerbation did not increase this risk.
