It's not open to those recently hospitalized for psychiatric reasons, detoxified, attempted suicide, or in another related study.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a brief text-based intervention called DSB-I aimed at reducing safety behaviors that people with social anxiety use. The goal is to help these individuals better reintegrate into the workforce by improving their functional outcomes and quality of life.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this is a psychological intervention involving text messages rather than medication, traditional physical side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience increased anxiety or discomfort when facing situations without their usual safety behaviors.
