Title:
Establishing the National Research Consortium Knowledge Exchange Hub and the Development of the iCBT Pilot in Support of PTSI Among Public Safety Officers
Agreement Value:
$23,200,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 11, 2019 - Mar 31, 2025
Description:
As a whole, the consortium will build the evidence base related to post-traumatic stress injury (PTSI) among public safety personnel (PSP) and disseminate this research evidence to public safety stakeholders, knowledge users and policy makers. As part of the national research consortium, CIPSRT will serve as the hub for knowledge synthesis, knowledge translation and knowledge exchange. CIPSRT will also focus on developing a prototype for an internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (iCBT) model which will be used to support PSP who either screen positively for symptoms of a mental disorder or who may experience or be susceptible to mental health challenges given their work.
Organization:
Public Safety Canada
Expected Results:
The expected result is to enable coordination among consortium researchers and engagement of the Public Safety community through a range of knowledge transfer activities. The main deliverable for the iCBT portion of the project will be the tested design for an online tool that can intelligently and autonomously assess and support people with mental disorders during the self-directed stages of an iCBT model, under the partial supervision of clinical staff.
