Evidence-based culturally informed mental health treatment for Veterans and their family members: A non-VA U.S. telehealth pilot program.
Article in Journal of military, veteran and family health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Veterans and Veteran family members experiencing mental health problems face significant barriers when accessing military culturally competent providers trained in evidence-based treatments (EBTs). Telehealth is a low-cost solution that may increase access. Ongoing evaluation is needed to demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of this emerging practice among military members and their families. Accordingly, authors piloted a telehealth clinic in 2018-19 (before the COVID-19 pandemic). Clinicians in a U.S.-based non-Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic offered military culture informed EBTs (cognitive processing therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and the unified protocol for transdiagnostic treatment of emotional disorders) via telehealth to Veterans and Veteran family members. Self-report measures were used to assess psychological symptoms before and after treatment and one month post-treatment. Seventy-one percent of participants (Veteran or family member) completed treatment. Participants reported significant reductions in posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, depressive symptoms, and psychological distress, and significantly increased physical and psychological quality of life following treatment. Treatment gains were maintained or improved after one month. Participants also reported high satisfaction with treatment and strong alliances with providers. Findings show promise for use of telehealth as a solution for connecting Veterans and Veteran family members to timely, high-quality, specialized care.
