Participant Flow

Participants were recruited from January 13th, 2021 to August 24th, 2021 via mass emails sent to registered students at the University of Washington, flyers, social media ads, and provider referrals.

Participants were considered to be enrolled in the study once they provided informed consent at baseline. They completed the baseline assessment to confirm eligibility. Participants found to be eligible at baseline were automatically randomized.

Measure
Intervention
Participants in the intervention condition completed 3 weeks of daily activities and symptom self-monitoring in the THRIVE app. Day 1 involved identification of activities to add to a "self-care activity list" with guidance around selecting activities that increase social contact, reduce alcohol use, and reduce avoidance. They also completed an active-learning exercise about cognitive distortions and created a "stuck point to-do list" consisting of their cognitive distortions. In subsequent days, participants were prompted to complete activities from both lists. They also had access to optional activities on topics such as asking for help, preventing isolation, deciding whether to disclose an assault, coping with negative reactions to disclosure, and thinking in helpful ways about social support. They were prompted to complete brief daily surveys in the app, which populated a symptom tracker. Participants had brief weekly phone contact with a coach to monitor safety and troubleshoot issues with app use.
Assessment-only Control
Participants in the control condition completed 3 weeks symptom self-monitoring. They had access to a version of the app that included daily surveys and a symptom tracker populated by these surveys, but without any of the other exercises included in the experimental version of the app. Participants had brief weekly phone contact with a coach to monitor safety and troubleshoot issues with app use.
