EMOTION APP study more info
Thanks for your interest in our Emotion App study. This study is funded by the National Institutes on Health and is being conducted by Lisa M. Najavits, PhD and Treatment Innovations, Newton, MA.
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a new mobile app for phone or tablet, which is designed to help young adults who have had substance abuse in the past year to become more aware of their emotions, as a way to help them reduce their substance use.
Interested? Fill out a very brief screening form. It asks basic information about you (such as age, gender, whether you use a mobile phone or tablet, etc.). If you are eligible, we will get in touch with you.

What is it?
- You need to have a mobile phone or tablet to download one of the study apps.
- You would start with an assessment online that is estimated to take about 30 minutes.
- If you are eligible for the project you would be assigned by chance (randomly) to one of the following two study conditions and you will have a 50% chance of being assigned to either one: (i) the enhanced app condition (which will be given access to the enhanced mobile app, which is designed to provide a very appealing, interesting way to learn emotional awareness); or (2) the basic app condition (who will be given access to a mobile app that provides basic information about emotional awareness). Whichever study condition you are assigned to, you will receive a unique login and password so that you could download the app onto your phone or tablet. All participants will be given access to their app (enhanced or basic) for 6 weeks.
- After 6 weeks with the app you will be asked to complete an assessment that is like the one you did at the start. You would then be paid an $80 amazon e-gift card.
- We will also conduct an optional one-hour zoom feedback interview with those who had the enhanced app; if you complete this you would receive an additional $40 amazon e-gift card.
