^aIn the population column, male alone or female alone denotes that at least 80% of the study population was male or female. If only one trauma type is listed, at least 80% of the study population reported that type of trauma. ^bPTSD outcome measure change data were obtained either directly from the study, when

restructuring, coping skills training, other therapies, and psychotherapies administered in a group format—the committee found the evidence for all but one psychotherapeutic approach inadequate to reach a conclusion regarding efficacy. The evidence was sufficient to conclude the efficacy of exposure therapies in treating patients with PTSD.
