Using the research domain criteria framework to track domains of change in comorbid PTSD and SUD.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Comorbidity in diagnosis raises critical challenges for psychological assessment and treatment. The Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) Project, launched by the National Institutes of Mental Health, proposes domains of functioning as a way to conceptualize the overlap between comorbid conditions and inform treatment selection. However, further research is needed to understand common comorbidities (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD] and substance use disorder [SUD]) from an RDoC framework and how existing evidence-based treatments would be expected to promote change in the RDoC domains of functioning. To address these gaps, the current study examined change in 3 RDoC domains (Negative Valence Systems, Arousal/Regulatory Systems, and Cognitive Systems) during concurren
