About FIRST®The Evidence
Emerging.
Honest.
Building.
FIRST is an evidence-informed protocol at an active stage of clinical evaluation. We are committed to transparency about where the evidence currently stands.
An earlier UK feasibility study with 60 military veterans indicated that FIRST is effective in reducing PTSD symptoms.
A full randomised controlled trial is now underway through Inspire Wellbeing and King's College London, recruiting a larger cohort of UK veterans to formally evaluate its effectiveness.
In Australia, Soul Medicine VAR is conducting a parallel service evaluation with adults living with PTSD.
Early findings show measurable reductions in symptom severity on the PCL-5, a validated PTSD measure.
We are committed to building and sharing the evidence as it develops.
