When the attention control condition works: A systematic review of attention control training for posttraumatic stress disorder.

Attentional bias and deficits in attentional control are associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Attention control training (ACT) may address these factors. We reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of ACT for PTSD to address unanswered questions about ACT's effectiveness, tolerability, and implementation.

Increased Risk for Clinically Significant Sleep Disturbances in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: An Approach to Leveraging the Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research Database.

Study Objectives: The Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research (FITBIR) Informatics System contains individual-patient-level traumatic brain injury (TBI) data, which when combined, allows for the examination of rates and outcomes for key subpopulations at risk for developing sleep disturbance.

Methods: This proof-of-concept study creates a model system for harmonizing data (i.e.

Using harmonized FITBIR datasets to examine associations between TBI history and cognitive functioning.

Objective: Demonstrate how patient-level traumatic brain injury (TBI) data from studies in the Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research (FITBIR) Informatics System can be harmonized and pooled to examine relationships between TBI and cognitive functioning.

Method: We harmonized and pooled data across studies and analyzed rates of probable cognitive functioning deficits by TBI history and severity.

Results: Four publicly available FITBIR studies with 3,445 participants included data on cognitive dysfunction, though only one included comparison groups (mild TBI vs.
