Remotely Resolving Psychological Stress (Remote RePS)
Sponsor: University of California, San Francisco
Summary
The investigators have developed a mobile app called Resolving Psychological Stress (REPS) for people with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The app will administer threat-related attention bias modification to individuals who score high on a PTSD checklist. This study will be administered remotely to individuals in the United States. The aims of the study are to explore feasibility, acceptability and usability of the app in an entirely remote study, as well as to explore the efficacy of the app at reducing attention bias and PTSD symptom severity.

Interventions
Personalized Attention Bias Training
This self-help program will aim to reduce neurobiological threat sensitivity with the ultimate goal of developing a low-cost and highly scalable self-help tool to alleviate symptoms of PTSD. The app can be used on an iOS compatible phone and involves a training program that aims to directly reduce threat sensitivity by modifying attention. The contents of the app will be personalized for each user.
Neutral Attention Training Condition
This self-help program is a placebo control program that will be used on an iOS compatible phone. The placebo will contain only neutral words.
Non-Personalized Attention Bias Training
This self-help program administered on an app will aim to reduce neurobiological threat sensitivity with the ultimate goal of a low-cost and highly scalable self-help tool to alleviate symptoms of PTSD. The app can be used on an iOS compatible phone and involves a training program that aims to directly reduce threat sensitivity by modifying attention. The contents of the app will be the same for each user.
