Dissemination plan

The goal of this research program is to develop the effects of diagnostic and treatment options for PSTD victims in the VA healthcare system. The use of biomarkers in diagnosis and interventions for PSTD is a relatively new field. The research needs technical expertise in such areas as biological systems which may create problems in the phase of implementation due to lack of professionalism and lack of expertise on the administration of the PSTD diagnosis and treatment. The tools being developed will enable the health practitioners to realistically be able to develop a clear insight in the medical approach (Healthcare Education Associates 2015).

This action research will investigate how diagnostic procedures, treatment methods and procedures can be improved to ensure that more accurate PSTD diagnosis among the war veterans and better treatment results. The research will investigate the various treatment approaches and procedures such as individual and group therapy in order to develop an appropriate action research problem to deal with the identified problems associated with the diagnosis and the treatment of OEF and OIF veterans.

The problems come from the procedures and treatments that are associated with PSTD. There has been a wide variation in PSTD prevalence among different studies and sample populations will suggest a disproportionate and inaccurate diagnosis of PSTD among OIF and OEF veterans. This has constituted a significant health problem for the veterans due to the misdiagnosis. The lack of placebo controls in psychotherapy diagnosis in comparison to clinical tests of medicines will suggest that practices require incorporation of more effective diagnosis measures based on clearly defined and identifiable biomarkers of PSTD illness that does not produce a wide difference in PSTD prevalence among the veterans and enhance effectiveness in treatment administered to OEF and OIF veterans.

The research will involve OEF and OIF veterans, medical staff, management of various institutions, families of the veterans and also the government officials in the ministry of health. These will be the stakeholders in the research program. The research will be administered through interviews, questionnaire, experimentation and personal observation.

This research will serve as a pilot for other analysis in the medical field. The results from our evaluation of the consequences associated diagnosis will be disseminated on the website of the ministry of health, which will contain a special page devoted to the research sponsored project (Member Click Admin 2012).Additional dissemination will occur through presentation at conferences, regionally and nationally, through the articles that are will be published in peer-reviewed journals.

The researchers will then propose the benefits associated with using biomarkers in diagnosis and treatment that will help predict PSTD occurrence in veterans and therefore help curb the problem in the pre-PSTD phase other than waiting for the behavioral symptoms to develop under the behavioral model of diagnosis currently implemented by the VA healthcare organizations. Biomarkers can inform the treatment since they can predict the severity of PSTD. By using biomarkers, the veterans with the highest risk of developing PSTD can receive help since they rarely ask for help for themselves even on the onset of adverse symptoms.

The whole research project will encompass travelling which will consume $75, mailing and printing will need $129.57, Snacks and travel the researchers need will cost $34.45. Travel and printing will cost an estimate of $27.62. The total cost for the research will be $266.64.

The report will then be evaluated and analyzed intensively to come up with the exact situation at the medical centers and on the lives of the veterans who are facing difficulty with the diagnosis and then come up with appropriate solutions that can be done to save the situation.
