Given the rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression among U.S. service members, attention has been directed to ensuring the quality and availability of programs and services targeting these and other psychological health (PH) conditions. Understanding the current quality of care for PTSD and depression is an important step toward improving care across the MHS. To help determine whether service members with PTSD or depression are receiving evidence-based care and whether there are disparities in care quality by branch of service, geographic region, and service member characteristics (e.g., gender, age, pay grade, race/ethnicity, deployment history), DoD's Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury (DCoE) asked the RAND Corporation to conduct a review of the administrative data of service members diagnosed with PTSD or depression and to recommend areas on which the MHS could focus its efforts to continuously improve the quality of care provided to all service members. This report characterizes care for service members seen by MHS for diagnoses of PTSD and/or depression and finds that while the MHS performs well in ensuring outpatient follow-up following psychiatric hospitalization, providing sufficient psychotherapy and medication management needs to be improved. Further, quality of care for PTSD and depression varied by service branch, TRICARE region, and service member characteristics, suggesting the need to ensure that all service members receive high-quality care"--Publisher's description 606 $aMedicine, Military$zUnited States$xEvaluation 606 $aPost-traumatic stress disorder$xTreatment$zUnited States 606 $aDepression, Mental$xTreatment$zUnited States$xEvaluation 606 $aSoldiers$xMental health$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xMedical care$xEvaluation 615 0$aMedicine, Military$xEvaluation. 615 0$aPost-traumatic stress disorder$xTreatment 615 0$aDepression, Mental$xTreatment$xEvaluation. 615 0$aSoldiers$xMental health 676 $a616.85/21008835500973 700 $aHepner$b Kimberly A.$01244029 702 $aHepner$b Kimberly A. 712 02$aNational Defense Research Institute (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220085703321 996 $aQuality of care for PTSD and depression in the Military Health System$92885663 997 $aUNINA
