Summary

The investigators are testing two digital health interventions for trichotillomania (TTM), via a randomized trial design.

Conditions

  • Trichotillomania

Interventions

DEVICE

Keen2 bracelet

Participants will receive an awareness bracelet (Keen2) which vibrates upon detection of hair pulling motion, supporting behavior therapy for hair pulling delivered by the Keen2 app.

DEVICE

Reminder bracelet

Participants will receive a non-vibrating bracelet to wear as a visual reminder not to pull.

BEHAVIORAL

Keen2 app

Participants will be given access to a smartphone app. The bracelet and app work together to implement key features of habit reversal training for TTM, including psychoeducation, awareness training, competing response training, and personalized just-in-time stimulus control and other behavioral strategy reminders.

BEHAVIORAL

Health Reminders App

Participants will be given access to a smartphone app that will prompt them to log their context (e.g., location and activity) throughout the day and provide general health tips.
