The investigators propose to develop and adapt Unwinding Anxiety phone app specifically for
individuals with generalized anxiety disorder.
individuals with generalized anxiety disorder.
The study aims are to (1) develop and refine Unwinding Anxiety for individuals with
generalized anxiety disorder, (2) determine user engagement and acceptability as well as
measure effect sizes of the program vs. treatment as usual, and (3) preliminarily test
mechanisms of action. The knowledge gained will set the stage for a number of future studies
related to further elucidating the mechanisms of mindfulness, and the clinical efficacy and
utility of this type of training delivered via digital therapeutics in general. Specifically,
this study will provide necessary variances for powering larger phase 2 studies.
