Conclusion: There was a statistically significant relationship between the intensity of program participation and PTSD outcomes. This was evident in both unadjusted and adjusted analyses. Doubling program hours halved the odds (OR: 0.50) that the patient would have clinically significant PTSD upon program termination and doubled the odds (OR: 2.05) that the patient would return to work upon program termination.
