This study tests a treatment with two components: first, there is a single session face-to-face virtual intervention delivered by the counselor or therapist via VA Video Connect software. Second, a mobile app (mPRO) is used for EMA and to deliver EMI components.~Veterans will be enrolled following informed consent. The research staff will read the measures to the Veteran who will verbally provide their answers.~Veterans will next complete the baseline assessment. At the baseline assessment, Veterans meet with the Project Coordinator by phone or virtually to complete a consenting process, guidance on the video software being used, and set-up and guidance on use of the mobile app.~Following the baseline assessment, participants will be scheduled to receive the face-to-face virtual intervention followed by two weeks of EMA/EMI via mPRO.~At the end of the two weeks, Veterans will complete a post-intervention assessment appointment. The post-intervention assessment includes an exit interview for participants to provide additional feedback regarding acceptability of the intervention.~Follow-up assessment appointments will be completed at the 1-month and 3-month follow-ups.
This pilot study trial will test the acceptability, feasibility, and usability of a brief enhanced anxiety sensitivity treatment to reduce anxiety sensitivity and functional impairment in Veterans.
