service members following participation in an established surf therapy program. Participants
complete assessments before and after the surf therapy program, as well as brief assessments
before and after each surf therapy session.
The proposed study would evaluate whether an existing surf therapy program that is part of
the Wounded, Ill, and Injured (WII) Wellness Program at Naval Medical Center San Diego
(NMCSD), significantly reduces both psychological symptoms (e.g., PTSD, depression, anxiety,
negative affect, lack of positive affect) and physical symptoms (e.g., pain, sleep) among
active-duty service members. Psychological and physical symptoms will be assessed before
beginning the surf program and at program completion. In addition, brief assessments of mood
and symptoms will be completed before and after each individual surf therapy session.
