First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is developing and testing a smartphone app called METS4Vets, designed to help veterans with substance use disorders as they move from residential treatment back into everyday life. The app provides motivational and skills-building support. Researchers are enrolling 30 veterans to see if the app is usable, acceptable, and feasible, and to measure changes in their daily functioning over six months.
