Video Summary

Sindhura Nimani, a third-year medical student, presented research on smartphone interventions for PTSD in primary care settings, conducted with a team from Rowan Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine and funded by the New Jersey Health Foundation. The study aimed to integrate the PTSD Coach app into care clinics, exploring attrition factors in patients with PTSD symptoms. Findings indicated high attrition, influenced by intrusion symptom severity and experiences like sexual assault or natural disasters. Results suggested mobile interventions are beneficial for certain PTSD symptoms, but participant follow-up could improve with enhanced guidance. Future research should optimize integration with primary care workflow.
