Simsensei: Eliciting honest Health status ”…Reporting of depression, PTSD, suicidal ideation, and interest in receiving care were 2-fold to 4-fold higher on the anonymous survey compared with the routine Post-Deployment Health Assessment.” Warner et al., Archives of General Psychiatry, Oct. 2011.
The Colorado National Guard Project • Two Projects: SimSensei and STRIVE • 36 Member USASOCOM National Guard Unit • Heterogeneous Sample (male/female, young/older,1st Timers/Multiple Deployments) • Schedule • January 2014 Pre-Deployment Baseline • Blood Draw all at one time: 2 hours • SimSensei 1 Hour individually • STRIVE 2 Hours individually • December 2014 Post-Deployment • SimSensei 1 Hour Individually • May 2014 6-Month Follow-up • SimSensei1 Hour Individually
The Colorado National Guard Project • Primary Aims of the Project • Can we develop a better assessment of Psychological Health at pre-Deployment • Can we teach Psychological Resilience and Emotional Coping prior to Deployment • Can VR Resilience Training reduce later incidence of PTS reactions • Can we predict in advance who may be at risk for Psychological Health problems upon return home or at 6 months post-deployment • Can we better detect Psychological Health problems upon the return home
