Improving and sustaining delivery of CPT for PTSD in mental health systems: a cluster randomized trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Large-scale implementation of evidence-based psychotherapies (EBPs) such as cognitive processing therapy (CPT) for posttraumatic stress disorder can have a tremendous impact on mental and physical health, healthcare utilization, and quality of life.
