This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether text message reminders can help people with excessive worry reduce the safety behaviors they use to cope with their anxiety. The study compares this text message approach to a relaxation program, to see which one helps more people feel less anxious and worried.
Many people with generalized anxiety disorder develop repetitive safety behaviors — like checking, reassuring themselves, or organizing — that feel necessary but actually keep worry going. This study is testing whether gradually reducing these behaviors with daily text message support might be an easier and more accessible way to help people break this cycle.
If assigned to the text message group, you'll receive daily text reminders encouraging you to reduce worry behaviors, along with a checklist to track your progress each day. If assigned to the relaxation group, you'll watch four 15-minute videos over one month that teach you how to relax your muscles. Either way, you'll be able to see your progress over time as you work through the program.
