Research teams at the University of Bath and Kings College London are recrutiing for a new digital study:

The purpose of the STOP (Successful Treatment of Paranoia) study is to investigate the effects of a mobile phone App to help people manage feelings of paranoia in a way that is less distressing and disruptive to their lives

Paranoia can be one of the most disabling psychological experiences. It can cause distress, other mental health problems, and problems in work, family, and social situations.

​STOP involves reading text that invites paranoid thoughts, but then teaches people to respond in an alternative, less paranoid, and less distressing way. A previous study using a similar treatment delivered on a desktop computer has shown promising results, and participants told us that taking part was a positive experience.

 The STOP study will transform the desktop therapy into a more engaging and accessible mobile phone App for a wider range of people.
