- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <br>Our primary research objective is to determine the clinical effects of ZeroPhobia: whether (1) there is a reduction in phobic anxiety symptoms within-participants and between- participants (experimental vs control) post-test and whether (2) effects are sustainable at 3 and 12 month follow-up. Therefore, this primary outcome of anxiety symptoms will be measured using the Flight Anxiety Situations questionnaire (FAS; van Gerwen et al., 1999).
