Post-Traumatic Stress Study BARCC and the National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorders at the Boston VA are collaboratively conducting a research study
for women who have recently been sexually assaulted. In this study, we
will be looking at the correlates of PTSD among sexual assault survivors
across time. You may be eligible to participate if you are a woman over
the age of 18 who has been sexually assaulted in the past four weeks. The
study consists of 4 online confidential surveys completed over the course
of 4 months. Reimbursement for study involvement is provided. If you would
like more information about the study, please call the study coordinator,
Vera Vine, at (857) 364-6191, or email her at vera.vine@va.gov.
