Shift is a new cognitive-behavioral based app, co-designed with users and experts, that works by prompting users to report their current anger state, and delivering personalized support to manage anger accordingly.

Co‐Designing Lived Experience Guide Support for First Responder Mental Health
BACKGROUND: Improving the mental health and well-being of first responders has been a priority, leading to increased availability of treatments and services. However, access barriers continue to hinder the effectiveness of these services. Lived experience guides are mental healthcare service navigators who have real-world experience working as a first responder and understand mental health challenges first responders experience. The aim of this s…
Prevalence of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Serving Military and Veteran Populations
Serving military personnel and veterans are known to be at elevated risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and some veterans have been shown to respond poorly to current standard treatments. Evidence so far suggests that according to the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems guidelines, complex PTSD (CPTSD) may be of higher prevalence in the general population than PTSD. The aim of the st…
Understanding the temporal dynamics of problem anger using sequence analysis
Problem anger is a common, and potentially destructive mental health issue in trauma-affected populations, affecting up to 30% of veteran and military populations. Problem anger is associated with a range of psychosocial and functional difficulties and elevated risk of harm to self and others. Increasingly, ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is being used to understand the microlevel dynamics of emotions, and this information is valuable to in…
Cross-lagged analyses of anger and PTSD symptoms among veterans in treatment
Anger influences change in specific PTSD symptoms over time among military veterans in treatment and may interfere with treatments for PTSD. Veterans who present to clinical services with anger problems may benefit from anger interventions prior to commencing trauma-focused treatment. The findings have additional implications for conceptual models of the relationship between anger and PTSD. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reser…
Efficacy of Psychoactive Drugs for the Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Exploration of Delayed-Onset Posttraumatic Stress Disorder After Severe Injury
OBJECTIVE: The first aim of this work was to conduct a rigorous longitudinal study to identify rates of delayed-onset posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a sample of patients with severe injury. The second aim was to determine what variables differentiated delayed-onset PTSD from chronic PTSD. METHODS: Randomly selected patients with injury who were admitted to four hospitals around Australia were recruited to the study (N = 834) and assessed…
