Facilitating Assessment of At-Risk Sailors using Technology (FAAST)

Project

Naval personnel experience high levels of anxiety, stress, and suicidal thoughts while deployed. We want to find better ways to address Sailors’ mental health needs, particularly as they transition to civilian life. We are interested in exploring how a smartphone application can be used to assess emotional distress in Sailors, as well as evaluating Sailors’ experiences and preferences in using the application.
