About the Course:

Identifying factors that influence treatment outcomes of emerging integrated interventions for co-occurring Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorder (SUD) is crucial to maximize Veterans’ health.

This exploratory study examined the association between dyadic adjustment and treatment outcomes in individual integrated treatment for co-occurring PTSD and SUD.
