VA has issued an RFI related to STAIR (Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Relationships), an evidence-based coping skills intervention for individuals (both Veteran and non-Veteran) who have experienced a traumatic event and are having emotion management and relationship difficulties.
The evaluation version is in production and VA is “trying to determine vendor capability to provide software development and application hosting support to make further adaptations (i.e., modifications, enhancements, etc.) to the evaluation and general use versions of webSTAIR and continue the system hosting of the evaluation version currently in use by Veterans and VA clinicians, as outlined in the requirements identified.”
“Adaptions may include but are not limited to all versions of webSTAIR (including the Contractor-hosted dashboard) to facilitate ease of use and efficacy of the program. Revisions can include but are not limited to content updates, adjustments to interactive exercises, enhancements to the final conclusion session, and development of and refinements for badging and other gamification components of webSTAIR that aim to enhance user engagement.” Read more here.
