This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Project RISE is a research study that teaches college students how to better recognize and understand signals from their own bodies — like hunger, fatigue, and emotions. The program includes four modules that focus on body awareness, how you eat, self-care, emotional understanding, and how you relate to others. Researchers believe that learning these skills may help reduce suicidal thoughts and eating-related concerns.
Many people who struggle with suicidal thoughts or eating disorders have difficulty recognizing what their body is telling them. This trial is testing whether teaching these awareness skills could be a helpful way to support college students facing these challenges.

You would be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group completes four modules teaching body awareness and emotional recognition skills. The other group completes modules about healthy habits like budgeting, hygiene, and stretching — designed to take about the same amount of time. Throughout the study, you'll answer questions about your feelings and experiences, and researchers may measure things like your heart rate and pain sensitivity to understand how your body responds.
