Summary
This trial will test how well text messages can help people form healthy habits.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with social anxiety, as indicated by a score greater than 29 on the Social Phobia Inventory. Participants must have been on stable psychotropic medications for at least four weeks and should not be currently receiving psychotherapy specifically for social anxiety.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a text message-based intervention designed to reduce safety behaviors that people with social anxiety might rely on. It's being compared to an active control group to measure its effectiveness in managing symptoms of social anxiety.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions through text messaging rather than medication or medical procedures, traditional physical side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience increased anxiety or discomfort when reducing their safety behaviors.
