Summary
BounceBack Now (BBN) is a self-help, trauma-focused mental health mobile application (app) with automated assessment with treatment guidance and in-app evidence-based treatment support for depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sleep difficulties, and anxiety. BBN contains many of the necessary components to promote self-management of these conditions. Investigators will evaluate the app's feasibility and acceptability among under served participants (e.g., African Americans and participants with lower socioeconomic status) with trauma histories in an integrated primary care (IPC) setting. There are two specific aims: 1) to develop educational materials for patients and behavioral health providers for BBN in IPC, and 2) to conduct a pilot trial of BBN for participants with trauma histories in an IPC setting. For Aim 1, focus groups with behavioral health providers and participants will be conducted to obtain feedback about BBN and training materials. For Aim 2, a feasibility study with 15 participants will be conducted to identify and address any procedural issues and to refine the protocol before conducting the full-scale study.
