What is being tested?

The study is testing a mobile mindfulness app designed to help manage Alcohol Use Disorder and PTSD symptoms against an exercise/healthy eating mobile app. Veterans will use these apps to see if they can improve their conditions through guided activities and self-help strategies.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-pharmaceutical interventions like mindfulness exercises and healthy lifestyle guidance through apps, side effects may include discomfort from confronting difficult emotions during mindfulness practice or changes in physical activity levels.
