The baseline assessment consisted of a screening interview for comorbid anxiety and substance use disorders, the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS), the 9-item depression Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and a quality of life measure (Quality of Well-Being Scale-Self Administered [QWB-SA]). In addition, psychophysiologic assessment of reactivity and attentional bias to combat-related PTSD relevant stimuli occurred through virtual reality (VR) and acoustic startle stimuli at the North Little Rock psychophysiologic reactivity lab. The StressEraser group was trained to operate the device at baseline and instructed to use it for 5-20 minutes daily before bedtime for 24 weeks.
