Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental group - HabitAware condition
This group will receive the device which alerts the participant when performing hair pulling behavior and the app which provides psychoeducation and components of Habit Reversal Training.
Device and app system designed for participant to self-administer Habit Reversal Training
Participants will receive an awareness bracelet and an app that work together to implement key features of Habit Reversal Training. The participant will take part in psychoeducation, awareness training, and competing response training related to trichotillomania.
Control group - reminder bracelet condition
This group will receive only a device that vibrates randomly several times per hour as a reminder not to pull.
Reminder bracelet control condition
Participants will receive a bracelet programmed to vibrate randomly several times per hour during waking hours. They will be instructed this is a reminder not to pull.
