USING SMART PHONE TECHNOLOGY AS A PLATFORM FOR DELIVERING MENTAL HEALTH CARE TO RURAL VETERANS

The purpose of this study is to see if a new Smart Phone application can help Veterans
manage their panic symptoms after completing a two-day treatment for panic attacks.

The first goal is to see how helpful the Smart Phone application is in helping veterans with
panic symptoms continue to improve after you complete treatment.

The second goal of this study is to find out how much veterans like the Smart Phone
application.

The third goal is to see how practical it is to use the Smart Phone application as a form of
follow-up care. We want to see how much time is needed to provide technical support in using
the application.
