Bounce Back Now: A Low-Cost Intervention to Facilitate Post-Disaster Recovery

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

In brief

Disaster survivors need freely accessible resources to self-monitor their emotional recovery and help them address mental health needs they may develop after a disaster. The investigators will evaluate a novel, scalable, and highly sustainable smartphone/web-based intervention that is designed to address post-disaster PTSD and depressed mood. The intervention, Bounce Back Now, will be tested in a study with 5,000 disaster survivors and will be accessible via any internet-connected device (e.g., laptop, tablet, smartphone).
