Overview
Brief Summary
The Mobile-Interpretation Bias Modification clinical trial aims to examine the efficacy of a brief mobile phone delivered interpretation bias modification to reduce anxiety sensitivity cognitive concerns and suicidal ideation in National Guard Personnel. The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial testing the efficacy, acceptability, and usability of M-IBM with a sample of 114 National Guardsmen with current suicidal ideation and elevated anxiety sensitivity cognitive concerns. Participants will complete assessments, receive assistance on installing M- IBM on their phone, complete an M-IBM intervention session, and complete post-intervention assessments. Baseline measures of psychopathology, and usability/acceptability of M-IBM will be obtained during the initial session. In addition, 1-month, and 3-month follow-ups would be scheduled to examine changes in psychopathology. The investigators hypothesize that those randomized to M-IBM will experience reductions in anxiety sensitivity cognitive concerns, suicidal ideation. In addition participants will find M-IBM acceptable and easy to use.
