This study is designed to assist the investigators in answering the clinical question of how to address non-response to first line PTSD treatments. Utilizing an innovative Hybrid Experimental Design (HED), the proposed study involves multiple, sequential randomizations to both therapist-delivered and digital interventions operating on short and long timescales to determine the optimal combination and sequencing of evidence-based interventions to maximize response. This will result in actionable data and, consistent with a personalized medicine approach, an implementable, adaptive treatment regimen that optimizes clinical resource allocation. By recruiting and providing treatment in routine care settings serving veterans with PTSD, the study design maximizes generalizability, relevance to the VA mission, and implementation potential.
