About

Project Better is no longer enrolling new participants. Go to the Trauma Recovery & Resilience Innovations – Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences (uw.edu) for other studies.

Project Better uses text (SMS) messages to provide support and promote healthy coping following exposure to traumatic or stressful events. We hope to learn whether simple text messages can help change people’s drinking and distress – we are passionate about understanding reactions to stressors and providing support to as many people affected by stressors as possible!

If you think you could benefit from our support, we hope you will consider participating. We invite you to share our information with someone you think we can help.
