Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
App condition
All participants will receive access to the developed social anxiety disorder (SAD) treatment app for 12 weeks.
Self-help Smartphone App
The app provides a 12-week adaptation of scientifically proven cognitive behavioral therapy techniques for the treatment of SAD and is intended for use as a mobile intervention. The app includes modules such as learning (e.g., creating a model, learning about the maintaining factors), changing the maintaining factors (e.g., safety behaviors), or behavioral experiments.
App with accompanying therapy sessions
In addition to being able to use the app to treat social anxiety over a 12-week period, participants will receive a total of 8 video therapy sessions based on cognitive behavioral therapy to accompany their use of the app.
