Abstract
Introduction
The stepped-care model has been adopted by various healthcare systems to reduce costs and overcome barriers to treatment. Written exposure is a low-intensity treatment for PTSD that may be disseminated into stepped-care. Written exposure involves one or more sessions of writing about a traumatic experience, either online or in-person. It was the aim of this review to systematically assess the efficacy for written exposure in reducing posttraumatic stress in adults across a plethora of writing paradigms, and to explore whether different features of writing paradigms account for differences in outcomes.
