"This new PILOTS content allows us to further meet the needs of researchers, particularly health professionals and veterans," said Jill Blaemers, director of social sciences for ProQuest CSA. "PILOTS is very complimentary to social science content now available on the CSA Illumina platform. We are pleased to make this comprehensive coverage widely accessible to the researchers who need it."
PILOTS is a bibliographic database produced at the headquarters of the National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in White River Junction, Vermont, and is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Its goal is to include citations to all literature on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental-health sequelae of traumatic events.
Subject coverage in PILOTS includes the assessment, description, prevention, and treatment of psychiatric, dissociative, and personality disorders related to post-traumatic stress. PILOTS also covers the preparation or provision of mental health services related to trauma. In addition, PILOTS citations address issues of professional ethics, scientific methodology, or public policy relating to traumatized populations.
Subscribers to the following databases through the CSA platform now have access to PILOTS at no additional charge:
- CSA Sociological Abstracts
- CSA Social Services Abstracts
- ASSIA: Applied Social Sciences Indexes and Abstracts
- PsycINFO
