Early Support after Exposure to Trauma (EASE): protocol for a hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial of an internet-based intervention for PTSD prevention
Overview
This paper outlines the protocol for the EASE study, a hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial evaluating Condensed Internet-delivered Prolonged Exposure (CIPE) as an indicated secondary prevention for PTSD. The research targets individuals receiving support from Norwegian municipal crisis teams within seven weeks of a traumatic event and compares CIPE plus treatment as usual against treatment as usual alone. It assesses primary outcomes related to PTSD symptoms at six weeks post-randomization, alongside secondary measures such as depression, insomnia, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness.
