Reductions in PTSD symptoms within the first month of intervention use, and not reductions in drinking, predicted increased SWL over 6 months. SWL is an important marker for recovery and related quality of life, and an important assessment and intervention target of web-based interventions. Interventions may also target SWL, as improvements in SWL promote future recovery and sustained improvement. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
