 The VA Ann Arbor Healthcare is recruiting OEF/OIF Combat veterans to participate in a PTSD study investigating evidence-based treatments for PTSD and differences in biology and brain function.
The study is recruiting two groups of volunteers. The first group will consist of veterans who are experiencing symptoms of PTSD, such as:
- Nightmares, upsetting memories, or anxiety
- Others noticing you’re detached or irritable
- Difficulties in adjusting back to civilian life
The second group will consist of veterans without PTSD symptoms who want to help fellow veterans by participating in important research.
If you are a veteran and would be interested in participating in this study, contact VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System, Ann Arbor, MI 48105 (734) 845-5359.
Compensation provided for study participation.
