Abstract: Introduction: Trauma-focused evidence-based psychotherapy (EBP) is the recommended treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). During and after the COVID-19 pandemic, veterans began to initiate general mental health services delivered via video telehealth at high rates. Our goal in the current project was to describe the percentage as well as the demographic, military, and clinical characteristics of veterans receiving PTSD EBPs via video telehealth versus in-person. Methods: Using data from the VA electronic health record, we identified a national cohort of all-era veterans who received individual PTSD EBP between April 2022 and April 2023 (n = 24,447). We used multivariable hierarchical Bayesian logistic regression to model the probability of receiving at least 50% of their EBP care via video telehealth. Results: In our sample, 74.4% of veterans who received PTSD EBP used video telehealth for at least one EBP session and 66.8% of veterans received at least half of their EBP sessions by video telehealth. Female veterans, younger veterans, and veterans with fewer mental health comorbidities were more likely to have received their PTSD EBP via video telehealth. Additional strong interaction effects for Black female veterans, Hispanic female veterans, female officer veterans, and Black officer veterans. Discussion: Video telehealth delivery of PTSD EBPs was more common than in-person delivery of PTSD EBPs. Consistent with underlying trends in telehealth services, female veterans, and particularly female, racial/ethnic minority veterans were more likely to receive PTSD EBP via video telehealth. Future research designed to contextualize the observed differences in video telehealth delivery of PTSD EBPs should consider the role of social determinants of health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
