This paper describes feasibility of and patient and peer satisfaction with a Veteran-to-Veteran peer support program purposefully integrated into prolonged exposure (PE) for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to address barriers contributing to dropout from both in person and telemedicine delivered PE. Specifically, patients who had dropped out of PE were offered the opportunity to return to treatment, this time with a peer who themselves had completed PE, who would join them during a limited number of PE in vivo exposure homework trials. About half of the Veterans who dropped out indicated willingness to return to treatment, noting the peer as central to this decision, and about a third actually returned to treatment.
