Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Poor psychosocial functioning, including social disconnection, is common and disabling among Veterans, and often fails to improve following the best available evidence-based treatments, particularly if more severe pathology is present. Behavioral activation (BA) is a promising, low-burden intervention, which could help improve social functioning impairments in Veterans, as this treatment targets social reward sensitivity, an important driving mechanism of social functioning. Thus, the proposed research will test whether BA can specifically improve social functioning in Veterans. Leveraging a neurocomputational framework of social reward seeking behavior, this research will help to improve the treatment and assessment of social function and the prediction of psychosocial treatment needs in Veterans, while providing neurobehavioral targets to develop new interventions that can restore social functioning.
