Internet and Mobile Interventions for Adults with PTSD and Their Family Members: A Systematic Review

Excerpt

Military Veterans and service members may experience small to negligible benefits on PTSD and depressive symptoms from internet and mobile interventions for PTSD. Civilians may experience moderate benefits at post-treatment, but these gains do not appear to be sustained. Consequently, the available evidence does not currently support these interventions as an effective treatment for Veterans with PTSD. Based on a small evidence base, internet and mobile interventions do not appear to benefit family members of adults with PTSD.
