App plus therapist sessions may help WTC responders with PTSD
NCT ID NCT06648928
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a mobile app called PTSD Coach, with or without brief clinician support, can reduce PTSD, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems in World Trade Center responders living in Florida. About 120 English- or Spanish-speaking responders will be randomly assigned to use the app alone, the app plus four remote therapy sessions, or a waitlist. The goal is to see if these app-based approaches are practical and effective for this group, especially Hispanic responders.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Clinician-supported PTSD Coach mobile app
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a scalable, remotely delivered treatment option for PTSD and related symptoms in WTC responders, especially Hispanic and Spanish-speaking groups.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage feasibility study (120 participants) with no blinding, and results may not generalize to all populations. The app is not a substitute for in-person care for severe cases.
