Summary

Social anxiety, which broadly consists of fears related to being negatively evaluated and avoidance of social situations, is highly prevalent among Veterans. Social anxiety is associated with significant deficits in social and occupational functioning. This study aims to evaluate a brief text-based intervention for decreasing social anxiety related safety behaviors among Veterans attempting to re-integrate into the workforce. Findings from this study will examine the efficacy of the text based intervention with aims at improving functional outcomes and quality of life among Veterans. Additional data from participating Veterans will provide valuable feedback on the intervention and assist in future refinement.
