Brief Summary

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

Military service and reserve duty in combat units entails exposure to traumatic events that require mental adjustment. In light of the results of controlled studies that proved the effectiveness an response-time based mechanized training protocol in reducing risk for post-trauma symptoms in deployed combat soldiers, the Israeli Defense Forces decided at the beginning of the Iron Swords War to implement an internet-based App of the intervention. Soldiers and combat reservists were invited to use the Combat Attention App. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the Combat Attention App in relation to a control group of soldiers who did not use the App in reducing risk for post-traumatic stress symptoms of deployed soldiers.

Attention App Users

Soldiers who used the App and completed at least one training session

Combat Attention Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The Combat Attention App is a response-time based mechanized preventive intervention designed to train combat soldiers' attention toward threats before combat exposure in order to reduce the risk for combat-related post-trauma symptoms. In light of the results of controlled studies that proved the efficacy of this preventive intervention, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) decided at the beginning of the Iron Swords War (October 7th, 2023) to implement an internet-based App of the intervention, and soldiers and combat reservists were invited to train on the Combat Attention App.

Non Users

Soldiers matched on age, sex, and specialty to the Attention App Users group who never used the App
