Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and utility of SIT delivered asynchronously (self-paced) via fully virtual platform with and without the aid of a mobile health application and to determine initial change over baseline in terms of reduction in PTSD symptoms and improvement in resiliency in participants receiving the virtual SIT prototype, using Linear Mixed Models (LMMs),

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

The first 10 participants will do the treatment via the canvas classroom virtually and participate in user experience interviews to improve the quality of the treatment and improve the user experience.Next, the second group of 10 participants will do the treatment with the canvas classroom aided by a mobile health application.These participants will also participate in user experience interviews to improve the quality of the treatment and improve the user experience.
