The Laboratory for the Study of Anxiety Disorders at the University of Texas at Austin is conducting a virtual study investigating a behavioral task (playing a game, like Tetris) to treat a trauma memory and associated symptoms.

We are currently recruiting people who experienced a traumatic event for a research study.

What is a traumatic event? It can be...

• War and combat
• Rape and sexual assault
• Domestic abuse
• A physical assault
• Being the victim of a violent crime
• Experiencing a car accident
• Witnessing death or serious injury

What will I be asked to do if I participate in this research study?

• Complete an online pre-screening questionnaire to determine your eligibility
• Complete a total of 2 virtual visits
• Be randomly assigned to complete a behavioral task (like playing Tetris or a word association game) or no game control
• Go through a trauma memory reactivation procedure during the first and second virtual visit
• Complete a series of questionnaires

You do not need to have PTSD to participate in this study. If you participate, you will be asked to be in this virtual study for about two weeks.
