Read our PTSD research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing two different types of therapy that have already been proven to help people with PTSD: Cognitive Processing Therapy and STAIR Narrative Therapy. The research team wants to find out which one works better for LGBTQIA+ people specifically, since these therapies have not been thoroughly studied in this community. You would receive one of these treatments over several months to help reduce PTSD symptoms.
Most PTSD treatments have been tested mainly in other populations, so doctors don't yet know which approach works best for sexual and gender minority people. This study aims to fill that gap so that LGBTQIA+ people and their doctors can make informed choices about the best treatment for their needs.

You would be assigned to receive either Cognitive Processing Therapy (about 12 sessions) or STAIR Narrative Therapy (about 16 sessions). Sessions would take place in person in San Francisco or via video call, and you would learn practical skills to help process trauma and manage PTSD symptoms. Throughout the study, you would also complete questionnaires about your symptoms, mood, and quality of life to help researchers understand how well the treatment is working for you.
